Weak Cables and Heavy Movement Cau,e
Decided Slump in Wheat
WALL STREET KEPT UNDER SURVEILLANCE
hoard Grows Leary of New York
Spectators Because of Recent
Bulge and Consequent slump
Corn and oats Lower.

CHICAGO. Jan. 16-Weak cables and the
heavy movement were the factors In de-
cided slump which the wheat market took
today May closing ha%c lower. Corn
closed Anasc and oats ismhc lower. FRO
visions at the close were 12Au27lRc lower.
May wheat opened tsdasc lower at 76jsc to
7Gssc. mainly because Liverpool showed
full response TO the decline on this side yes
terday. The crowd, however, was inclined
to keep a keen eye on wall street and a
curb on their speculative DESIRES rather
than on the legitimate situation To buying
from this quarter Is attributed the bulge
of a week ago, and to withdrawal of this
support is credited the recent declining
tendency Of the market. Wall street, now
ever, is still believed to be long, and TINS,
combined with the stiffness of some local
long lines, leaves the rank and file on
tcntcr hooks. At the opening some incon-
sequential selling by "a house supposed TO
represent Wall street brought out all sorts
of small stuff and May dropped to 76Ssd
76ihc Hero the pressure eased and on re-
ports of export engagements the market
gradually rallied to 1870. Attempted re-
alizing showed how slack the demand has
grown. The decline caught stop-loss orders
and the market near the end of the session
dropped sharply to 15Lc. The close was
weak. 1AHl%c lower at 753snI5lac. Export
ers reported 62 loads taken. Seaboard clear
ances In wheat and flour were equal to 41l,-
100 bu. Primary receipts aggregated 63OVo
bu.. compared with $4,000 bu. last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 322 cars,
against 2yl last week and 23l a year ago.
Local receipts were 81 cars, none OF CON
tract grade.
Corn was dun and easier, partly on the
improved weather. but mainly with wheat.
Country aCccptanccs were light and the
cash demand fair. but business was cur
tailed by the scarcity of cars. May sold
between 3S%sc and 3Sc and closed An@sc
lower at 3SC. Receipts were 42l cars, two
of contract grade.
oats were moderately active at times and
again extremely dun for considerable per-
iods. The cash demand was fair and some
export business was done direct Some
selling early by elevators was taken as an
indication Of country buying. Receipts
were 2l9 cars. The market declined In sym
pathy with wheat. May sold between 2i7sc
and AFsa2i%.c and closed is0hc down at
2i5sd2iAC.
Provisions werc heavy on liberal hog rc-
ceipts and In sympathy with wheat The
market showed some recovery at one time,
but dropped off again I'm sympathy with the
wheat market. May pork sold between
$li25 and Sl395 and closed 27l9C lower at
sii; May lard between S755 and S.i5, clos
ing l2i2c down at $Z47h and May ribs be-
tween 500 and $40, with the close l21zc
depressed at s7121a.
