Chicago Grain end Produce.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-The chief factor affecting
the wheat pit was the extremely bearish Ar
gentine advices BroomhaI reporting that the
exportabIe surplus of wheat from that country
would approximate eighty million bushels Liv-
erpool cables were also lower due partly to the
liberal offerings of Argentine wheat in that
market contributed to the general depression.
In consequence OF these statistics there was
considerable realizing, but covering by shorts
gave fair support to the market and pre-
vented a severe break. May opened u C to * c
lower at 75c 10 751sc and sold down to 745sc
soon after the opening. but advanced later TO
T51Ac. only to react during the last half hour,
the closing being A43sc lower at 75GT5Bc.
Com was rather quiet, but prices held fairly
steady. May closed unchanged TO &c lower at
42%4 d42Ac
oats firm bad weather. May closed
shade higher at 33 = 433 &c.
There was considerable realizing in pro-
visions, which resulted in a lower tendency to
prices. An unexpected increase in the con-
tract stocks for the month the main bear
factor. May pork closed 25c lower. lard was
