Fresh and storage eggs have dropped
a cent and a half dozen and cream
cry and dairy butter has declined a
cent and a half a pound on the local

Chicago. Jan. 25-On the mere basis
of primary wheat receipts since July
l, 1912. farm reserves might not ex-
coed one year ago The 1912 crop was
110.O00,000 above 1911. and the 1928
receipts are exactly 110,000,000 above
1911-12.
Primary receipts for 1928 are 25,-
100000 above the 19O2-O3 record for the
entire crop year of 100000 The
sublime enormity of the present move
ment suggests an underestimated crop

This amazing flow of wheat. how
ever, sits easily on the current value
level and our domestic conditions are
healthy.
1t is 20 Europe we must look. Any

sess a fair amount for export. In
brief, we now await the February eff

MORNING GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, Jan. 25.-More fluctuations
in all grains are due at these levels.
Morning gossip and news has no SER
iously bullish tinge.
Newspapers treat the Balkan war
news as a doubtful factor
The various Friday estimates ,of
emallish wheat reserves in the north
west have received little newspaper
attention.
Liberality of the southwest wheat
movement does not suit local conserva-
tive students.
There is more gossip about the big
wheat primary receipts, but the dupli-
cation must equal. 30,OOO.O00 at least.
One LEGAL paper takes hard fling at
red wheat prices and declares that
they are too high. All grains look a
bulge sale, and while rallies should
occur, the news of Friday was far from
conclusive as to an immediate 2 or 3
cent upturn in any grain.
Export demand seems lacking,
though American clearances of wheat
continue coed. Am rather inclined to
favor orders to meet bulges and on
purchases, would not hold out too long.
The hog .run is not good, but pack
ers require all the hogs they can Sc
cure.
Winter wheat news continues to re-
feet about 81 to 80 condition.
Liverpool reports wheat % and corn
"a higher. This firmness against the
Saturday session indicates no broad
changes on the downside today in our
markets.

LIVERPOOL SUMMARY.

Liverpool, England, Jan. 25.-The
late strength in America yesterday
caused some covering at the opening.
There continues a fair demand for
wheat from the continent with millers
buying. Later the market was dull,
the advance being checked by the larg-
er and cheaper plate offers and more
favorable Indian news and heavy
American shipments, as indicated by
Bradstreet's. At the close the market
was dull. but steady, u to g higher
than yesterday.
Corn was stronger. in sympathy with
American cables and the firmness in
steamers afoat and poor demand for

the transfer OF General W. s. Rose
Grams, for whom Mcclellan might be
expected to say a good word, from Ten
nessee to Virginia, but IT was then
thought tnJudicious to put another
western man IN command after the
disastrous experience with General
John Pope at the second Battle Of Bull
Run in the summer OF 1862.
The choice being narrowed to some
general in the Army of the Potomac, q
process OF exclusion began. General
W. B. Franklin was under q cloud and
therefore out OF the question: General
4. V. Sumner had many qualifications,
but his age and growing feebleness
were beyond remedy; General D. n.
Couch was possible second and still
more likely third choice, and. briefly,
the selection was found to lie among
Hooker and two division commanders,
General ]. F. Reynolds and General
George G. Meade. The first named had
a strong popular lead. but General Hal
leck, backed by the secretary OF war,
contended that there were reasons of
an imperative character why be should
not be intrusted with a command Of
so high a degree Of responsibility.
