WHEAT WEAK AND LOWER
BEARISH ARGENTINE ADVICES
CAUSE DOWNWARD TENDENCY.
Corn IL a Shade Down and Oats Firm
and a Shade Up-PrOvfsions Are
Weak All Around.

CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-There was renewed
liquidation in wheat to-day, due to bearish
foreign advices, and the close was easy.
with May A@%c lower. Corn was shade
lower, and oats shade higher. Provisions
closed weak and from 5971kc to 25c lower.
The chief factor affecting the wheat pit
was the extremely bearish Argentine ad-
vices, Broomhall reporting that the ex-
portable surplus of wheat from that coun-
try would approximate SO0o0,OO0 bushels.
Liverpool cables were also lower. due partly
to the liberal offerings of Argentine wheat
in that market, and contributed to the gen.
eral depression. In consequence of these
statistics there was considerable realizing,
but covering by shorts gave fair support
to the market and prevented a severe break.
May opened AQ%c lower. at 75G75hc. and
sold down to 747sc soon after the opening,
but advanced later to 751zc, only to react
during the last half hour, the close being
Adasc lower. at 75@75bc. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to $4,000 bu.
Primary receipts were 49O1OO blu, against
$4,000 bu a year ago. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported receipts of go cars with a
holiday at Duluth), which, with local re-
ceipts of 103 cars-one of contract grade
made total Of 353 cars, against 336 cars
last week and 326 cars year ago.
Corn was rather quiet, but prices held
fairly steady. The weather was the princi-
pal bull influence, the map showing rains in
several of the corn States. Covering by
shorts in the January delivery was also a
supporting feature. Pit scalpers were the
best sellers. The close was steady, with
May unchanged to hc lower at 42%Q42Nc.
after ranging between 42%c and 431sc. Re-
ceipts were 591 cars. five of contract grade.
There was moderate trade in oats and a
firm undertone prevailed, the bad weather
for the movement being the principal
strengthening influence. Commission houses
were good buyers and offerings were linn
TIED and came mainly from scalpers The
close was steady, with May a shade higher,
at $3.50 s311c, after selling between 1914 and
SSesc. Receipts were 331 cars.
There was considerable realizing in pro-
visions which resulted in a lower tendency
to prices. A feature was the action of jan
uary pork, which was very erratic and made
a drop of 81 a barrel. January opened at
MISS, and after selling at SIS, there was a
break to 81. Late In the day a good de-
mand from brokers brought a rally and the
close was 55c lower, at $3.50. An unex-
pected increase In the contract stocks for
the month was the main bear factor. al
the depression. May pork closed &c lower
at $6.05. Lard was of 10d1211c at So. 80, and
ribs were down 5@712c. at SS.521z.
Estimated receipts for Monday-Wheat, So
cars; corn, $50 cars; oats, Us cars; hogs,

a-Cattle-Receipts, $50; shipments small. This
weeks receipts of cattle show gain of little
less than SEQ compared with last week. a de-
crease OF LOO compared with the same week
year ago and an increase OF 400 over the corre-
sponSing week two years ago. Thus far this
year the receipts are nearly 400 smaller than
the same period last year. The market opened
this week with al grades showing weakness.
and steers good enough to bring over $3.50 were
selling 10QI5c lower than the close of last week
There a continued depression in the market
until the middle OF the week, when all grades
rallied to some extent. The additional strength
however. was more perceptible in the market
for good female butcher than for steers. In
fact, the best and heifers began to gain a
little in price. and at the extreme close OF the
week selling a basis OF at least 10q15c
higher than the close of last week. After a
slight rally the market for heavy steers again
weakened, and at the extreme close of the week
they were selling at least 25c lower than the
close of last week. Lighter killers, that Is,
cattle that sold around siQ4.25, showed less
change than the heavier grades and they were
probably not to exceed 10q15c lower for the
ers and feeding cattle throughout the week, and
toward the close the best selections were show
ing little more strength than they did at the
ported this week were $3.50 for steers. $40 for
cows and heifers. 10 for bulls and IS for calves.
The receipts to-day were OF only moderate vol
ume, but enough TO supply the demand, whicn
was limited. 1t was more less difficult TO
consummate sales. but nnal transactions indi-
sasd that prices FOR isss e sasrs s
any different. were weaker. The general market
for the week closed in just fair condition, and
the outlook is very uncertain. Quotations:
