CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO. Jan 3.-Russian and Argen-
tina news favored the bulls In the wheat
pit today and as a result the market here
was firm. At the close wheat for May
delivery was up hq9sc; Corn was up &c"
changed to 21ac higher.
The wheat market was firm from the
start. Initial quotations of the May de-
SsSsGSsltc Throughout the day shorts and
commission houses were active buyers
and early In the session the market re-
ceiyed good support from prominent bulls.
The firm feeling at the opening was due
principally to an. advance OF the price
OF wheat at Liverpool. Later came ad-
vices from an English crop statistician to
the effect that wet weather In Argentina
was delaying the harvesting of wheat.
From the same source came also report
that shipments from ports on the Danube
will probably soon be cut off because of
the end OF navigation, as result of ice
facturers of farm implements have re-
ceived many letters from Russia cancelling
orders strengthened the bnllish feeling.
the fact that Bradstreets' weekly report
of the worlds visible supply OF wheat did
not come out. Many local traders sold
short in expectation that the report would
show a large increase, and when the an
nouncement was made that the report
would not be issued today the majority OF
the traders covered in haste. The range
on May for the day was between sskc and

receipts were $4,000 bu., compared with
49, 600 blu. one year ago. Minneapolis, Du-
luth and Chicago reported receipts of S2s
cars against 11G cars last week and As
cars a year ago.
A firm tone was manifested in the corn
market, but the advance in prices was
small. Wet weather throughout the corn
belt was the main factor In the situation
Local receipts were somewhat less than
had been estimated and to some degree
stopped the selling. The close was steady
May opened unchanged to &c higher al
44&o to 44hc, sold between Assc and Ara
44tso and closed at 44Isc. Local receipts
were 46s cars with % OF contract grade.
The oats market was very quiet but

the chief cause of the hrmness. May

ceipts were PA cars.
The provisions market was firm despite
decline OF &c in the price of live hogs
Locals stocks OF lard were shown by
the monthly report to be much smaller
than generally expected. This was tn,
chief cause OF the steady market. Tn,

SHEEP-Receipts were quite liberal again
this morning, the run being about the same
as yesterday in point of numbers. I'm
fortunately good many, or more correctly
speaking. more than half of the receipts,
did not put in an appearance until after
the middle of the forenoon. This OF itself
was sufficient to make a slow and late mar
ket In addition the quality of large per-
centage of the offerings was none too good.
Conditions were all against the selling IN
terests. Chicago early reported a decline
of 10c and all other market points were
sending out discouraging reports. At the
same time local buyers felt that they put
up prices most too fast here yesterday and
that this market was too high as COM
pared with others. The result of all these
adverse circumstances was a slow and dull
market, generally l0c lower than yesterday
and in extreme cases possibly l5c lower
This just about wipes out the gain this
week and leaves the market where 1t was
a the close of last week.

however towards cautiousness in view OF

contingencies Prices on the Stock exchange

quiet. The market closed irregular. Con-

CATTLE-RecelpJs of cattle tins morning
were liberal, there being close to 40 cars
in sight the largest run OF any day since
December ~. There seemed to be very
good demand for all desirable kinds of
cattle. and the market as "A whole might be
described as reasonably active without any
decisive change in values in any direction.
There was no great supply OF beef steers
on sale this morning, while there was a fair
demand for active killers. The market
was little slow in getting started but
was reasonably active wnen the trade was
once under way. The feeling was little
weak and in spots possibly the market
was a very little lower, but as a general
rule sellers were quoting their sales as just
about steady with yesterday.
AT the opening of the market there was
talk OF cows and hefers selling lower, but
as the trade got under way there was a bet
ter demand than mad been anticipated
and the most OF the cows changed hands in
good season. The prices paid did not show
any material change compared with
yesterday most of the sales looking steady.
There may possibly have been some little
weakness along the edges.
No great number of stockers and feeders
could be found in the yards, but what there
were sold at just about steady prices, there
being no quotable change in the feeder
situation.
