DECLINE MADE IN
PRICE OF WHEAT
Trade Is Heavy and Realizing
Causes the Drop
BIG MOVEMENT IN SIGHT
Corn Is Center Of Interest and New
High Prices Are Scored in the
May Delivery-oats Firm
and Provisions Weak.

Chicago, January THE corn pit con-
tinued to be the spectacular arena today
and the enormous trade OF yesterday was
duplicated, new point being established
in the May delivery. Commission and
speculative trade were both In excess of
usual conditions, and millions of bushels
thrown into the pit on realizing sales were
promptly assimilated.
Wheat prices fell of here today while
corn and oats remained firm. Simuita-
neously provisions sagged on heavy sales
In spite of the record making price of
live hogs.
There was a large trade in the wheat
pit, feature being liberal realizing by
prominent longs. Later there was con-
siderable reinstatlng of depleted lines,
but the market showed little response
Forecasts of less Indictment weather,
coupled with milder northwest tempera-
lures today, promising larger movement
of the crop, had bearish effect on the
cash market
The range In prices was "a to INC
May showing the greatest spread--$1 1917
to d.15. That option, however, quickly
receded from the high point and closed
weak at 81 1874 to s1.13A, loss of accent
compared with yesterdays figures.
The more distant futures kept within
narrower range and closed Ac lower
than yesterday.
Heavy feeding and crippled railroad
service cut down offerings of corn and
kept the market strong in spite of fore
casts of milder temperatures. Dullness
of cash demand was also ignored. The
new high point for May was 69Ac. The
more distant futures reached yesterday s
high level Of &c. All the months re-
oeded slightly at the close. The final
figures for May were 6S%96STc, a gain
of as@kc over yesterdays close. July
was up a shade and September was un-
changed from yesterdays close.
General commission and speculative
trade was large in the oats pit and there
was considerable profit taking on early
advances. In spite of enormous business
the range was comparatively narrow, the
spread varying from q to q cent. The
market eased Off toward the close. Final
figures for May were $3.50, which was
X to Il cent higher than yesterday s
close. July finished Is cent lower and
September u cent higher than yesterday.
Hea der provision sales than were ex-
pected took the ginger out Of prices for
hog products. From the exceptionally
high record set today by live hogs the
quotations for pork were expected to
soar. At the close, however. prices ranged
from 20 cents lower to 10 cents higher
than yesterday, January lard being the
only commodity to advance at ALL Clos
ing prices for January products were:
Pork, s21 .S21h; lard, $12.70; ribs, s11.60.

COTTON MARKET
IS VERY BULL|SH
Decided Recovery Is Made In
Prices During the Day
LIVERPOOL IS STRONG
Bears Lose Their Aggressiveness and
With Strong Support From the
South Bulls Carry Prices
Somewhat Higher.

New York, January THE recovery in
the cotton market became almost as ex-
cited during today's late trading as the
break had been earlier in the week, and
buyers during the last half hour seemed
to find little cotton offering. March con-
tracts sold at Is zoe and May at 15.s5c, just
before the close, and last prices were
within or points OF the top. with the
tone firm at a net advance of II to
Al points on the general list.
The market opened barely steady at an
advance of to 20 points, March be-
ing relatively firm, while nervousness
seemed to increase as the call progressed
and the late months were only a shade
over last nights close. Liverpool futures
were very firm before the local opening,
but the small spot sales there tended to
modify the showing, and during the first
few minutes here active positions sold Off
to within or 8 points of last nights fig
ures. The bears were by no means as
aggressive as they had been yesterday
however, and the bulls developed in
creased confidence as the day went on,
owing to the failure of fresh liquidation
to materialize on any important scale,
the buliish spot reports from the south,
expectations of bulish census report
next Monday and claims that spinnerA
were trying to buy cotton on the break
in futures.
The market became most active and ex-
cited during the last half hour, when
1t had the assistance of bullish visible
supply statement, and while Wall street
and western houses were sellers on the
advance. there was strong support from
spot interests and the south At the high
point of the day March contracts were 65
points ana May 6S points above the low
level of yesterday morning. The bullish
southern spot news seems to have con-
WINGED the trade of the speculative nature
of the recent sensational decline, but there
was some selling toward the close on the
apprehension that a further advance
would bring out long cotton that had been
carried over the break. Southern spot
markets were generally unchanged. The
worlds visible supply of American cot
ton decreased $1,000 bales for the week
against an increase OF 10000 for the same
week last year.
Receipts at the ports today, $500 bales,
against H,S56 last week and 65,937 last
year. For the week, $4,000 bales, against
l56.SH last week and 273,91S last year
Today's receipts at New Orleans, 3642
bales, against 10,4Ss last year, and at
Houston, 1887 against 1874 last year.

Hubbard Bros. G. Co.'s Letter.

New York, January 7.-(Special. lit
is understood that the strength Of
Liverpool today was largely due to the
buying for the same American account
which sold so heavily In that market
yesterday as a hedge against long cot
ton here. This strength abroad brought
buying orders on arbitrage which alb
sorbed the distressed cotton carried
over from the past two days. From
this point the market remained quiet
until the last hour when renewed buy
Ing based on the spinners' takings for
the week closed the market firm at
some 80 points advance.
Our cables state that some 10000
bales were sent by canal to Manches-
ter stocks which increased the takings.
However, with the long cotton finding
Judgement in strong hands the feeling
is again bullish though 1t is thought
that the Chicago cotton bought yester-
day was sold today at a small profit.
Liverpool should advance 10 points
tomorrow.
