CHICAGO, January 29.-British re-
verses, the Liverpool advance, zero
weather over the bare domestic fields
and the decrease in the worlds and in
the English visible, combined in pro-
ducing a strong and active wheat mar
ket here to-day, May closing 1c over
Saturday. Corn closed a shade up and
oats &c improved. Provisions closed
weak, 2h@7hc lower.
The wheat market opened strong and
active, May h0%c improved from
Saturday, at 69s to 68Bc. The
strength was due to the Liverpool ad-
vance and the cold weather. The Eng
lish grain center showed the effect Of
the small worlds shipments last week,
and the British reverses On the TuSela
influenced the market. Liverpool,
however, lost part of her early gain
and the advance met heavy selling.
The market declined rapidly to $3.50
68Ac, where the demand improved in
following a recation which carried May
to 6S5sc. For a time trade was quiet
and fluctuations narrow around that
figure. Near the end of the session
it was announced that the European
visible had decreased 100000 bush
els, the English 767,0 0 bushels and the
American 93S, 900 bushels. Under this
influence the market advanced active
ly. May touched 69kc and closed
strong, lie over Saturday, at 693s@
691sc. New York reported that Liv-
erpool acceptances during the last half
hour of the session had been heavy
and large. Foreigners were good buy
ers here, and New York reported
thirty loads taken for export. Allan
tic port ~clearances in wheat and flour
were equal to 200. 600 bushels. Pr;m-
airy receipts were 1906 bushels COM
pared to 594, 900 last year. Receipts
here were 40 cars, non of which grad
ed contract. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 435 cars, against 437 last week
and 776 a year ago.

enced by liberal receipts-471 airs here

The provisions market opened firm
