MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY


Minneapolis. Jan. 17.--There was nc
rally to wheat today, notwithstanding
the unexpected decrease In the domes-
tic visible. After the decrease was
posted the market scored a new low
point and closed weak, The indica-
tions still point TO pressure ON all ad-
vances and lower prices
The technical conditions should,
however, bring good upturns and a
trading position for quick profits is
indicated The short interest is very
aggressive and liquidation in other
lnarkets is having weakening effect
ON gains, which have still shown con-
siderable relative strength compared
with stocks and cotton. While ter
minal supplies are small, however, the
market will become congested easily
and a good rally at any moment may
be expected from now on. With one
exception, northwestern railroad con-
ditions are in good shape, but receipts
are not expected to be in very heavy
