WHEAT DECLINES
 UNDER PRESSURE Decline At Liverpool Is One
 Factor to Aid Bears VISIBLE SUPPLY LARGER Selling in the Corn Market Causes Early Weakness But This Is
 Quickly Overcome - Oats
 Quiet, Provisions Steady.
VISIBLE SUPPLY LARGER

Chicago, January 11.-Corn advanced here today while wheat fell off and oats were practically stationary in price. In provisions lard and ribs made moderate advances and pork declined in sympathy with the course of the live hog mar ket.
 Wheat sellers took possession of the pit, influenced by a decline at Liverpool and decrease in price of Argentine car goes. Another bearish factor was an in- crease of nearly 100000 bushels in the worlds visible supply compared with last years increase. In addition primary re- ceipts nearly doubled those of last year. Northwest demand for cash wheat, al- though strong, failed to counterbalance the bearish sentiment so that the only steadying factor was the upward tilt of the corn pit. Prices at .the high point barely touched yesterdays closing fig ures. The close was steady at not far from the low point of the day. May fin- ished at $1 .131s. a loss of 1s1ssc com pared with last quotations yesterday.
 In corn an early abundance of selling orders eased the market off IA to A-cent. The leading longs promptly added to their lines and steadily forced prices up. The high points reached were almost record prices. May touching 6sbc. Easing off from the bulges, the market closed steady with May at 6S%c, again off 1s-cent over yesterdays final figures.
 In oats cash demand was steadying factor. A range of from ss to h-cent was covered and at the close prices stood unchanged to lz-cent lower than yester- days final figures. May finished at TAO 47Ac.
 Increased runs of live hogs and a de- crease fin their prices at the packing cen ters had a tendency to lower the price of pork. That product closed unchanged to 71a cents lower than yesterday. Lard and ribs were In some demand from shorts and at the close ranged 21a to 10 cents higher than yesterday Final fig ures on January products were: Pork, $21. 721s: lard, s12.6o and ribs. s1t.

Coffee Market.

New York, January 1.-The market for coffee futures opened barely steady at unchanged prices to 8 decline of 10 points in sympathy with further de- cline of a partial quarter franc in the French market and as result of con- tinued scattering liquidation by Wall street and western interests. There was a little demand from trade in- terests at the decline and as offerings were by no means urgent owing to the steadiness of the spot situation the market was well sustained after the opening, with the close steady to 5 points lower. Sales were reported of 15000 bags, including March at 6S5l 69oc; May at 6.95@7c; July at 707.o5c; October at 6.95c and December at 6.95 orc.
