CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE news in
general was decidedly bearish in the
wheat pit today and heavy liquidations
caused weakness in the market, May
closing 1c lower. May corn was off
&c, while oats were unchanged.
Wheat was active early in the day,
put the market later became dull and
the volume of trade was light during
the last half of the session. English
caDIeS were dull and easier, outside
markets were all lower and the Euro
pean news was discouraging. The
principal bear factor was the report
from Liverpool stating the continental
demand appeared to be lessening and
that the supply had overtaken the de-
mand. AS result of this influence, a
large amount of long wheat was thrown
on the market and a break of 1c fol-
lowed, considerable short selling ac-
cording to the depression. May sold
down to 7OAc, after opening a shade
higher to a shade lower, at 1914 @79%c.
ana the close was near the bottom, at
1914 @lSasc, a loss of 1c from yester-
days close
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts We're $4,000 bushels. Minneap-
Oils and Duluth reported receipts of 3S8
cars, which, with local receipts of 10
cars-none of contract grade-made to-
tai receipts for the three points of 402
cars, against 246 cars last week.
Wheat Influences Corn.
Corn was influenced to some extent
by the weakness in wheat, the market
becoming easier after a slight upturn
early IN the day. There was fair ad-
vance early on cables and the unfavor-
able weather, but the small export de-
mand and the decline in wheat caused
considerable liquidation and the close
was easy Commission houses were
the best buyers and bought freely on
the break. May closed &c lower, at
1850, after selling between As "a 046c.
Local receipts were light, at 268 cars.
Win none OF contract grade,
trading in oats was light and the
weakness in other grains influenced
prices, the close being about steady.
after a firm opening. The unfavorable
weather was an early bull factor. Nav
closed unchanged after ranging between
5I12c and 37A @37Bc. Local receipts
were 112 cars.
trading in provisions was dull and
the sentiment in the pit about evenly
divided and little change in prices was
manifested. The opening was easier
on lower prices of hogs, and shorts took
advantage of the decline to cover
Which kept prices steady Final fig
ures on the May products were un-
changed, May pork closing at $500
lard at $9.45 and ribs at $500.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are Wheat, 80 cars; corn, 29O cars:
oats, l75 cars, and $4,000 head of hogs

the markets had any strength and on
moderate selling declines were general
On the early decline May sold to 1910

watching Chicago. Later weakness forced
May to 1850. Every one expected that
the report would come that Armour was

mours representative was not selling to
any greatly increased extent, but selling
been known to trade heavily for Armour
orders came on from house that has
at times, hence the traders jumped at the
conclusion that Armour was selling The
most discouraging item, however, came
from Liverpool BroomhaH sent q per
sonal cablegram bearing on the supply sit
uatlon, reading as follows: Continental
demand for wheat is lessening and think
the supply has about overtaken the de-
mand. am therefore inclined to modify
considerably my estimate previously made
as to the quantity of wheat Europe will
need to import in the next six months"
Naturally this was not very stimulating,
fdence of the big holders for a long
pull, or of the bulls. whose confidence is
based on the general supply outlook in
small lot speculative long wheat and de-
cline followed. Another element of I'M
certainty was the Lincoln holiday. Many
hesitated to go over and there was consid-
efable evening up IN a small way.

Duluth however getting 102 against "a.
Stocks in local elevators still show a
stand-off. but it is likely there will be a
slight increase this week. as millers were
not such free buyers yesterday, and some
of the wheat went into elevators.
Another Broomhall cable came to the.
effect that Argentine shipments will be
well up again this week, probably close
to 100000 bu. This had further weak

closing easy at low point. July wheat
closed at 1850, also low point of the
day. The cash market was unsatisfactory
in the main and sellers were complaining
little. Millers were not such active
bidders for the wheat and having a fair
supply of wheat, and better supply Of
empty cars to load out. were not inclined
to pay fancy prices. No. 1 sold at May
price at first. but late in the session some
of the unsoId wheat was offered at prices
