INSTRUMENTATION
1T ADDS MATERIALLY TO THE
CEREAL ACTIVITY At CHICAGO.
EngIish Reverses and Cold Weather
Were Strong DEMONSTRATIONS
Lower on Slack Demand.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-British reverses, the
Liverpool advance. zero weather over the
bare domestic fields and the decrease in
the worlds and in the English visible, COM
bined in producing a strong and active
wheat market here to-day. May closing lie
over Saturday. Corn closed shade up. and
oats sc improved. Provisions closed weak,
21k@71sc lower.
The wheat market opened strong and &C
tive. May 1Ad%c improved from Sat-
urday. at 691s@6S7sc. The strength was due
to the Liverpool advance and the cold
weather. The English grain center showed
the effect of the small worlds shipments
last week and the British reverses on the
Tugela. Liverpool. however, lost part of
her early gain and the advance met
heavy selling. The market declined rapidly
to 6S1s@6S14c, where the demand improved,
influencing reaction which carried May
to 6S9sc. For a time trade was quiet, and
fluctuations were narrow around that fig
ure Near the end of the session 1T was
announced that the European visible had
decreased 800. 000 the English 1900. and
the American $4,000 bushels. Under this in
fiuence the market advanced actively. May
touched 69l2c and closed strong lc over
Saturday at 697sG691ac. New York reported
that Liverpool acceptances during the last
half hour of the session had been large.
Foreigners were good buyers here, and New
York reported 80 loads taken for export. At
lantic port clearances, in wheat and flour.
were equal to 100000 bushels Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 bushels, compared with
$40 900 last year. Receipts here were 40 cars
none of which graded contract. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported 435 cars, against 4Sl
last week and no year ago.
The corn market was quiet and easy, the
greater part of the session, influenced by
liberal receiptS-417 cars here-freer coun-
try offerings, and the good weather Tor
movement, but near the end the strength
of wheat succeeded in steadying the
market. Trade was quiet. May opened ir-
regular 331kQ327sc compared with Satur-
days close at 33@33lsc; ranged from S3lsc
to 327sc, and closed shade over Saturday
at 334331sc. e-
In the oats market trade was quiet. There
| were hardly any fluctuations. sympathy
with wheat influenced some covering. Lo-
cal receipts were 215 cars. Country offerings
were a bit larger. May ranged from 23Aq
| 2S3sc to 233s@231ac, and closed 1sc higher at
| 2SS3s G2315c.
The provision market opened firm and
higher on receipts of hogs under the esti-
mate, and stronger prices at the yards. The
demand was slack, however and the
market turned heavy and closed easy May
pork sold from sl0.90q10.671e. and closed zh2q
