GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO. January 3O.-1mpaired wire
service due to the severe storm contrib
uted to some extent to an extremely dull
session in all pits on the board of trade
today. At the close prices of wheat corn,
oats and provisions we're almost un
changed from final quotations OF the pre-
vious day. A range of l4c in prices for all
deliveries throughout the day forcibly
tells the story of the days transactions
in the wheat pit. Owing to many tele-
graph wires being out Of commission on
account of the storm of the last forty
eight hours, trade was mainly of a local
character and of unusually small proper
tons. What little news came into the pit
was chiefly favorable to the bears but
the strong position of the bull leaders had
"a tendency to restrict selling. Weakness
Of foreign grain markets. due to free
offerings Of Argentine wheat and the re-
cent rain or snow over the winter wheat
belt in this country, were the principal
weakening fatio-s. The market closed
steady with May at 1.0Ika1.O7ts and
July at 975s. Clearances of wheat and
-four were equal to $4,000 bushels. Pr
mary receipts were 2O1 600 bushels. COM
pared with 400 600 bushels the correspond
ing day a year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth
and Chicago reported receipts of eighty
four cars against 2lS cars last week and
1874 cars a year ago.
Trade In the corn pit was almost as dull
as that in wheat and price ranges were
equally as narrow. Scarcity of offerings
from the country had strengthening
influence. The market closed steady with
prices unchanged to a shade higher. May
closing at 627s and July at 627saG3.
Local receipts were rs cars, with two
of contract grade.
Oats were quiet and steady, although
sentiment in the pit was trife bear
ish. Local receipts we're more than had
been estimated yesterday, and this fact
tended to weaken the market. Demand
for the cash grain was only moderate.
At the close prices were unchanged to
MaAc lower, compared with the previous
close Final quotations on May were at
%. and on July at 46ssa46la. Local re-
ceipts we're 1O4 cars.
Closing out Of small holdings Of Janu-
airy pork was the sole feature of trade
in the provisions market. This realizing
caused a decline of 221sc in the price
days close. Otherwise the trading in
the pit was at a standstill and prices
showed almost no change.
At the close January pork was at the
bottom while other products were 2lac
, higher to 21ac lower than final quotations
Of the previous session.
Estimated receipts for Monday:
