CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-Wheat was dull and
weak today, depressed by large receipts,
a poor export demand and the increase
in Russian shipments, May closing sc
under Saturday. Corn closed a shade
lower, and oats unchanged. Provisions
at the close were 21k@712c improved.
May wheat opened Ac over Saturday
at 6Ss4@6SBc. 1t speedily developed that
there was little excuse for such a bold
front to the market, for Liverpool was
rot overly steady and the small worlds
shipments, perhaps somewhat bullish a
first glance contained potent bear factor
in the increase in Russian shipments
against a decrease from this country IN
terest was divided between the pits and
the board of trade annual election, with
the latter more magnetic. May sold off
early to 6S3sc, where it steadied for
time on buying against puts. The large
receipts and the poor export demand,
however, acted against this until even
that poor support was practically with
drawn. Considerable long wheat was
thrown on the market in the liquidation
which reigned throughout the session.
May slumped through puts without effort
and touched 67asc, closing shortly after
ward in a weak condition, 9sc under Sat
unday, at 67BQ6Sc.
Receipts at primary points were $685.
623, compared with 99S,SSS last year. Min
neapoliS and Duluth reported 806 cars,
against rs a year ago. Local receipts
were 81 cars, 10 Of contract grade. New
York reported loads taken for export.
Atlantic and gulf port clearances, ex-
elusive of Galveston, were 567, 900 bushels.
Corn was dull and rather easy in SYM
pathy with wheat. The firmness of the
provision market and the small country
offerings tended to steady It, Speculative
ly the market was a small one. Local
stocks increased $4,000 and receipts today
were ISL cars May ranged from S25s@
33c, with the close shade under Satur-
day at 1924 @32hc. The corn crowd ap
parently was very much interested in The
election, as the pit was sparsely occupied
at the best while at times business was
at a standstill
Oats were quiet and featureless and
though the market at one time showed
some easiness in sympathy with wheat
the close was steady. There was con-
siderable outside selling, but offerings
were well taken. Shippers declared that
bids were a trifie out of the way. Re-
ceipts, 27O cars May ranged from
2SA@235sc, closing unchanged at 23%c.
Provisions, in the face of large hog
receipts, were firm, the result of a good
outside demand, particularly from the
South The demand from this section
presumably arose from the advance in
cotton. The influence or the nog recelplS
was felt somewhat at the opening, but
the market quickly shook 1t off. There
was little of the realizing which has
been feature of recent days and offer
ings from other sources were light. The
market was not a large one. May OPP
ton closed: Pork, TIC over at $10.9212;
