Nothing. has developed during the week
IN the wheat situation to cause US to
modify our views; on the contrary the
conditions are If anything more favorable
TO buil1sh stand on the outlook for the
future. In the face of extreme dullness in
speculation contradictory reports on the
cash situation, and some increase in re-
ceiptS, prices have resisted these in
fuences, selling has been Improbable and
declines Of short duration
The increased receipts at Northwestern
primary markets are apparently at the
expense OF country elevators, merely
shifting in the position of stocks, without
increase in available quantities. which
is misleading. The speculative features
remain: in our judgment, unaltered, based
upon the stubbornness displayed and the
unrelieved congestion evident, and We
doubt II the concentrated holding has been
reduced, as common reports hold Much
bearlshness is inspired just now on the
conslderat ton of the price ruling and much
ancient history revived to prove theories
In this connection. We believe it is a
mistake to apply such to situation
which Is without precedent, and which
represents an entirely new epoch in the
grain trade.
We do not believe there is any incon-
slStency between present values and the
ruling law Of supply and demand. Scarcity
Of contract supplies is a fact, not a
theory, and when Joined with a strong
speculative position argues very emphatic
ally for a still higher price level yet to
be realized.

CHICAGO, JAN 2S.-Anticipation of re-
duced exports from Australia and Argen-
tina was largely the cause of a firm finish
today in the wheat, market. AT the close
May wheat was up &c. Corn is off &c.
Oats are sc down, and provisions 21he
to 15c.
Rejecting lower prices at Liverpool the
wheat market here was easy at the open
ing. May started 1sc to Nc off at S115H
to be due to increased shipments from
Australia. At the start there was CON
siderable scattered selling, commission
houses and pit traders being prominent
on that side of the market. The slight
decline, however, brought out firm de-
mand for shorts In consequence there
was soon firmer undertone, May ad-
vancing to s116 Receipts in the North
of the cash situation at Minneapolis was
rather bullish. A revised estimate made
by an English crop expert regarding the
exportable surplus of wheat from Ar
gentina and Australia materially reduced
former figures. This gave some anxiety
to shorts and resulted in additional COW
ering. Trading. however, was compare
lively light throughout the entire session
The market closed firm with May at
$1.15H
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts
were 433 GOO bushels compared with $780,
100 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis Du-
luth and Chicago reported receipts of 2S1
cars, against AL cars last week and 2S3
cars a year ago.
Corn
Selling by cash houses and scalpers
caused rather weak corn market The
selling was due largely to lower cables
and increased acceptances in the country.
May opened unchanged to &c lower at
451sc to 4514c, sold off to 44Tc at 45c and
closed at 45c. Local receipts were 24S
cars, none of contract grade.
Larger receipts than expected was
partly responsible for slight decline in the
price of oats. The market was also af-
fected by the weakness of corn Trading
was very quiet. May opened shade to
Ac lower at 31c to 31@311sc, sold between
3O%c and 31Ac and closed at 30Ac. Lo-
cal receipts were "a cars.
Provisions
A decline of 1Oc in hog prices started
moderate profit taking in provisions, re-
sulting in lower prices throughout the
list At the close May pork was off 1919 %
15c at S12. S21s. Lard was down nc at
$6.95. Ribs were off 211s @5c at s6 S21h.
Estimated receipts for Monday:
Wheat, 33 cars; corn, 345 cars; oats, 100
ears; hogs, SO, 600 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

EDWARps-woop co.

Wheat-The price of Minneapolis Nav
wa was advanced 45sc since our last review
these broad swings that it would he nm
necessaW to refer to the present range
were 1t not for the fact that the adva noe
has occurred after the bears had a week
OF control. and in addition to their offer
1ngs great deal of long wheat was
llquidated, which so improved the position
of the market that It is now gaining
natural strength and the development Of
a permanent bull market appears to be a
matter OF only short time. AS on
former advances, there was back of the
buying strong reference to great scarcity
of wheat that must be experienced before
another six months. Not only were nri-
mary receipts light, but they were under
year ago when no such inducement
existed for selling as at the present time
and the Improvement in demands for cash
wheat and flour has refuted claims of
large stocks. Temporary strength came
from the Russian news that revolution
was imminent with the possibility of stop
ping exports as well as curtailing produc-
tion should the peasant take a hand in the
struggle. European markets are still fear
full of this and have sent higher cables
supplies is found in the larger Aregentine
and Australian shipments at advancing
prices.
We firmly believe that there are enough
strong points right now to warrant a big
advance and some wheat should be owned
constantly in anticipation of such a course
of the market. The outshipments of wheat
from Minneapolis for the first twenty-six
days of January were 1850 cars against
1874 for corresponding time last year.
This should not fail to convince doubling
bulls that the claimed shortage of wheat
has not been overestimated The market
may be only scalping affair for the bal
ance of this month or until reports show
that Northwest and Southwest interior
elevators are cleaned up and the receipts
fall off for want of deliveries from the
farms, but whether the price is higher or
lower when these facts become known
wheat should be bought and held for a
strong advance.

there was less pressure owing-to the re-
