CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The market was
strong almost all day, but became weak in
the last half hour because of an estimate on
wheat shipment from Argentina indicating
material increase in the shipment from

to an advance of almost one poiDt at Liv-
erpool, and excellent demand for cash wheat
and doubtful reports regarding the condi-
tion of fall sown crop in the southwest
