CHICAGO GRAIN

son, member Chicago Board Of Trade, Hotel
Alexandria, Los Angeles
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Early news on wheat
rather bearish. While slightly higher
Liverpool made a feeble response to our adj
vance of yesterday. Continent was mixed in
its action. Argentine shipments were well
over the estimates, while the Australian clear
ances were large for that country. Weather
of the very desirable kind, considerable moist
in the winter wheat belt with indications
of more moisture and warmer temperatures to
the claims of large business done in the north
west yesterday for export, which, together
with other news of the day. made necessary
considerable support Of the market from the
bull leaders, and even with this support the
markets trend was distinctly lower There
was selling of side lines of considerable pro-
portion today by local Spectators other than
those who are the leaders of the movement.
The Modern MilIers weekly summary was
moderately bearish in it's comment on the
growing conditions.
Corn was weak and while there was very
large buying power in the market on the
breaks, the selling of the strorg people in the
trade was such that it turned the trend of
sentiment to the bear side. 1t looks like an
other run of corn from the country is i'm
minent and we look upon corn as in weak
position, for the commission houses were the
best buyers today. Around cent lower
prices we look to see drastic commission house
liquidation. We look to see May corn sell in
the fifties and still believe in the short side.
Oats were dull. The bulk of the operations
were largely in the way of uncovering spreads
previously made between May corn and May
oats.
In provisions there was an early easy feel
ing, but later excellent buying by strong
packing interests. We can see nothing to
change our opinion. We in for a bull
market, always, of course, assuming that the
present run of hogs will not continue a great
VI lille longer.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-Desultory trading
by professional traders made up a great
part of the stock market today. The rise
in prices in a number of individual stocks
was due to the special causes and their
strength had sympathetic effect in
sustaining other stocks.
A feature of the days money market was
the reported lending of round amount for
thirty days at y per cent, a rate consid-
erably below the prevailing call loan rate,
and arguing the expectation, therefore, of
lower money rates.
The estimates of the weeks currency
movement show that cash is continuing to
flow to the New York banks in large
amounts

BOSTON, Jan. 15.-Amalgamated acts badly,
selling off easily on any attempt at liquidation
