Chicago, January 24.-Ordinary mar
ket considerations were tabooed in the
wheat pit to-day owing to the furry in
Wall street. There was considerable
excitement at time and the sentiment
became so bullish that May wheat at
one time was bring 1Ac over last night
at the close. Part of this advance was
lost on account of realization of pro-
fits but at the close May showed lac
improvement for the day. Corn de-
clined &c and oats &c. Pork left off
71ac higher, lard lost 2kc and ribs are
unchanged.
Nervousness on the part of the
shorts and higher cables from Liver
pool started wheat strong. May open
ed R@5sc higher at 72R@72Bc but
the realization of profits at the i'm
provement became so general that the
price touched 72Ac in a few minutes.
That was the low point of the day as
Wall street interests commenced buy
ing on a large scale and the local tai
ent was only too willing to follow this
lead. The ordinary statistical lnfor-
nation regarding the early movement
of wheat received scant attention and
as there was little wheat for sale buy
ers soon became excited and bid prices
up to secure it. Shorts rushed to COW
er and there was considerable buying
for the long account while under the
excitement May advanced steadily I'M
til it reached 73%c. At this figure
there was a handsome profit for hold
ers of call privileges and the tempta-
ton to secure them became so great
that the selling became general.
About this time ST. Louis and Mimi
eapolis sent several large selling or
ders and as the shorts had partially re-
covered from their fight May was al
lowed to sag to 73c. Receipts were 1865
cars compared with 35 the correspond
ing day a year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth received 5S7 cars against 1913
last veal and the total at all the chief
western markets amounted to $4,000
bushels where as 315,0 900 bushels COM
prised the total the same day a year
ago. Atlantic port c%learances of whea
and flour were moderate, equalling
$4,000 bushels. There was a good
shipping demand here and New York
report export sales of 26 boat q
Bradstreets report of a decrease in the
worlds visible of so, 200 bushels was a
surprise as a moderate increase had
been expected. 1t had very little eff
feet, however, as this is the time OF
the year for diminishing stocks and
last years decrease amounted to 13l,-
600 bushels. Toward the close the
buying became general again n May
advanced to 72B @72Rc and closed
with sellers at 73Ac. Under the in
fiuence of wheat, corn started buoy
ant. The bull leaders in corn were
more inclined to sell out at any little
advance than to buy, however, and
any improvement was quickly check
ed. Receipts were heavy, 903 cars and
from the manner in which elevator
people and other receiving houses sold
it appeared as if the movement was
not likely to become smaller in the i'm
mediate future. May opened unchang-
ed to Ac higher at 3S@3SAc and de-
clined to 37%c buyers, the closing
price.
Oats participated in the advance in
wheat early but met heavy selling from
the country, especially when the mar
ket was at any figure over 2Sc for May.
Cash business was slow and receipts
were large, 331 cars. May began 80
Ac at 2Sk @28Ac and declined to
27Bc at the close.
Good shipping demand for meats
and higher prices for hogs at the yards
strengthened provisions. There was
considerable liquidation by longs and
packers sold freely while the buying
was scattered and the early improve
ment was nearly all lost. May pork
opened 7A@12hc higher at $40 429G
10 471b, declined to $40 3712, rose TO
SO soy, then reacted to $40 421a at
the close. The range in lard and ribs
was small.
Estimated receipts for Wednesday
could not be obtained.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
