GRAIN MARKET CLOSED LOWER
LIQUIDATION BY LONGS

The Foreign News Was BulIish, but q
Dull Market Induced Lower Prices.
Provisions Were Strong.

Chicago, January L. There was only a
fair trade In wheat today and although
the news In general was bulIish. the close
was easier May being isdis tower; May
corn was lkdii lower, and oats closed u
higher. Provisions were strong.
Wheat was rather unsettled, and IN spite
Of bullish news early the tendency was
toward lower prices Influenced largely by Il
continued liquidation by local longs. re-
port that considerable amount Of wheat
was being worked for shipment to France
was an early bull factor, as were the small
receipts and heavy rains IN Argentina.
There was good cash demand and reports
Of heavy export business at the scahoard
helped prices late IN the day. May opened
a to lsdh lower at 76is 10 TG4d76as
Selling caused decline to 75%@757s, wheu
there was an advance to 1913 Unloading
by longs brought about another break and
the price went down to I55sa75al, with the
close l@aSs lower, at 1854 0751s. Min
neHpolis and Duluth reported sol cars.
which, with local receipts of thirty nine
cars, none OF contract grade, made the
total receipts for the three points of 800
cars against S6I last week and 1915 cars a
year ago
Trading in corn was extremely dull aud
the market was fcatureless With prices
barely steady. a good cash demand was
the main strengthening influence. although
fair export demand wsS favorable to the
hui side. The weather was favorable for
the movement, hut the receipts were only
moderate due to the car situation The
weakness in wheat late in the day was q

New York, January l2.-The large sell
