CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
News Of the Day Favorable for Bears.
May Wheat Weak
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The wheat mar
ket opened fairly steady, with May
unchanged to h@Hc lower at $1.16 to
1.16h@116h Trading, however, lacked
animation. While pit traders general
ly were bearish, feeling of uncer-
tainty held them in check and prevent
ed any great amount of selling.
The fact that the big holders were
doing nothing in the way of market
ing their wheat had a tendency to re-
strict offerings. News in general was
favorable to the bears.
The highest price on May was
reached at $1.16A. Late in the day a
sharp break occurred and May sold off
to $114H.
The decline was primarily due to an
announcement by a British statistic
ian that this weeks shipments from
Argentine would approximate 100000
bushels as against 216,000 bushels last
week. The break was accompanied by
heavy selling. The market closed
weak, with May at $1145s.
Influenced by, higher cables and light
receipts the corn market was quite
firm early in the day. but weakened on
heavy selling and the break in wheat
May closed at 44%@447sc.
Continued light receipts impaired a
firm tone to the oats market at the
start, but later prices sagged off a
trif1e in sympathy with the weakness
of wheat. May closed A0asc down at
30b@31c.
Only a very limited volume of bust
ness was transacted in provisions. AT
the close May pork was off 2h@5c and
lard and ribs were unchanged.
