CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Heavy Australian Shipments De
pressed Local Prices.

CHICAGO, January 20.-Heavy shipments
of wheat from Australia had depressing
effect today on the local wheat market.
Covering by shorts, however, caused a
steady tone at the close, final quotations on
May being off only Is. Corn was down u.
Oats were practically unchanged. Provi-
sions were 21aaTia higher.
At the opening sentiment in the wheat pit
was overwhelmingly bearish. There was
much liquidation by discouraged holders
and lower cables. heavy shipments from
Australia and liberal shipments In the
northwest. all inspired selling. The ship
ments from Australia for the week were
1,5S4,0 eco busrels, compared with 1892 600
bushels for the corresponding time one year
ago. Initial quotations on May were off
Aass to 1saA, at S6s to SITS. Further de-
cline was prevented by covering ty shorts
and by purchasing by some of the larger
commission houses. This buying caused a
slight recovery in prices before the end Of
the first hour. For the remainder of the
session the market held steady.
Trading in the July option showed in
creased activity, buying being induced by
springlike weather In the southwest, many
purchasers acting on the theory that a
quick drop In temperature would cause
heavy damage to the unprotected crops OF
fall-S3wn wheat. The market closed steady
with May at S7zaS7as the highest point OF
Tho day Clearances of wheat and -four
we're equal TO s97 900 bushels. Primary re-
.ceipts were 6o1000 bushels, compared with
