SEED MARKETS-Chicage Jan. 30
The fiaxseed market was remarkably
strong on Tuesday, and, as far can be
learned, for good reasons. There were a
few who wanted the stuff-there were a
few others, confined to few, too-that
held the stuff. This we believe to be
about the true situation. Receipts here
were 6 cars, 8 cars at Duluth and cars
at Minneapolis. Cash fax at $1.56, May
at Sl.571b, and September at $1.071a per

Jan. 3o.-Coffee futures opened steady in
tone with prices unchanged to Is points
higher on better European cables than
expected and fairly active foreign buy
ing. This caused active demand from
local shorts, and renewed investment in
terest without materially further advance
ing prices. Liquidation caused partial
reactions from time to time during the
late session. The general undertone.
however, was steady. with the spot de-
mand broadening. d The market closed
easy, with prices net points lower to 10
points higher. Sales, 27,250 bags, includ-

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Persistent liquida-
ton, animated by disappointing cables
and reports that La Plata offered Liver
pool wheat under America, and the as
Eertion that the plague in Argentine would
not materially curtail exports from that
country, turned the scale against the
wheat bulls today, May closing 115@5sc
under yesterday. Corn closed Ac and
oats &c lower Provisions at the close
were 5d121ac depressed.
May wheat opened at 6S6s@69c, compar-
ed with Yesterdays close at 69ss@691ac.
Liverpool advance was a disappoint-
ment and Paris was decidedly lower,
which influenced considerable selling. May
gradually receded to 6S1ac, where trade,
which had been fairly active, became
quiet, and for some time the market fiuc-
tuated between that figure and 6S24 @6S7sc,
the latter mark being touched by the May
option upon Bradstreets announcement
of a heavy decrease in the visible. On
the heels. of this, however, came a re-
port from Liverpool that La Plata wheat
was being offered lower than American.
:. 1T was further asserted that the plague
In Argentine would not materially curtail
exports from that country. The heavy
liquidation which followed these reports
sent May to 677sc, at which 1t closed on
very weak market, 115@15sc under yes
