CHICAGO HOARD OF TRADE
Future Grnin and Provislons

CHICAGO, Jan. Aside from the weather
bureau forecast, the wheat market lacked any
news of sufficient Importance to inspire any
great effect Of either buying selling, and con-
sequently trading quiet nearly all day. The
election of officers of the board of trade, which
occurred today also detracted materially from
interest in the prices. According to the weather
bureau, a cold viii spread over a large
section of this country tonight and tomorrow,
bringing with it the coldest weather of the
season. AS large areas of seeded wheat are I'M
protected by snow. the drop in temperature. it
was claimed, might result in considerable dam
age. This apprehension regarding the fall sown
crop caused fairly active buying during the final
hour of the day, which carried prices to the high
est point OF the session.
During the early part of the day sentiment
was quite bearish, owing TO a decline OF $@Ad
at Liverpool. resulting from increased offerings
Of wheat from Argentina. The market closed
strong at the top, with May at $10Sas and
July at 99ssc.
The ccrn market firm. Cash corn at the
sample tables steady to 1zc higher The
bulge in wheat had some effect late in the day.
The market closed firm with prices up 1s@15c,
May closing at 6l j5c and July at 81 5sc.
An improved demand for tire cash grain by
eastern shippers caused frmness In oats At
the close prices were AM%c higher, with May
at 513sc and July at 491ac.
Provisions were firm. The closing prices were
5@l71ac higher.

Potatoes. Onions and vegetables

The market for potatoes opened after the
holidays with show of activity, and prices
for table goods from the river and early rose
seed higher. Several cars of favored
brand of river potatoes were sold at the fat
rate of 81 GENITAL. and common TO choice stock
from the same source was held at hrmer rates.
The range in quotations for onions continued to
narrow. there being ready market for all the
sound stock received. Sweet potatoes were
in free supply, and while cellar stored stock
found ready sale at near the outside quo
tation there was hardly any sale for common
lots, which offered in instances at figures
well below the inside rate. Receipts of mis-
ceIlaneous vegetables from the south were light
and lower prices were quoted for some deserip-
tions. Most Of the arrivals showed effects of
frost and there was very little demand for them
anyhow.

Butter. Cheese and Errs

The general replenishing of stocks that were
depleted during the holidays caused an active
market for eggs yesterday, and with receipts
unusually light for Monday prices were firm
all around with several grades quoted higher
Fresh extras advanced 215c dozen to 461hc.
fresh hrsts and pullets were 1c higher and there
was an advance of 1sc to SC in eastern storage
goods. Arrivals of fresh stock over Sunday
were less than 300 cases. and many receivers
were of the opinion that country shippers were
holding eggs back anticipating repetition of
the performance of last week, when the market
advanced sharply when business was resumed
on the exchange after the adjournment Under
the call yesterday the market opened at 4Sc, an
advance of 4c over the previous quotations, but
liberal selling caused the price to recede TO 46Jse
The situation In butter was Just the reverse
of that in eggs, receipts being heavy and the
carryoyer from last week large Two Hum
boldt steamers were in with larger manifests
than were expected and arrivals from other
sources were liberal. Fresh extras dropped
11ac to 341ac pound Local storage goods
were very firm at an advance of 11kc. and
stocks in the ice houses were reported to be
diminishing rapidly. There was no change in
cheese.
Sales on the exchange we're as follows:
Butter-40 cases of fresh extras at 33I5c 80

Three cars of western chickens reached the

demand at satisfactory prices, practically all

thing in the live stock line received from state
shipping points, and arrivals OF turkeys con-
sisted of three cases of dressed stock which
sold at nominal prices. Game IN free sup
