WHEAT CLOSES FIRM
ABOVE NIGHT BEFORE
Two Separate Buying Flur-
ries Caused by Freezing
Weather in West

Chicago, January sf.-Tova and Ne-
braska reports of weather 10 degrees be-
low zero. where there is little snow pro-
lection brought about two separate buy
flurries today in wheat Wheat closed
ffm 1zGSsc to NC above last night. Corn
finished ss9s4 to &c higher, oats 1sasso
advance and provisions strung out from
22izc decline to an enhancement OF 121kc.
Spectators in wheat showed decided
nervousness during the first hour and still
more in the last half hour. The buying
at the close was led by three big houses
with apparently unlimited orders for the
May option. That delivery gave signs of
being congested and shorts were badlv
punished on the late swell. Beside the
| cold weather the reported withdrawal OF
the Turkish envoys from London had a
disturbing effect on would ba sellers of
wheat. Estimates of larger world shin.
ments served only as a temporary ehect,
to the, bulls. prices at no time reacted
to yesterdays level. Instead, the ton
prices of the day were in full force when
the bell cleared the pit. Coarse grain
advanced for the same reason as wheat.
The cold wave was expected to increase
feeding of corn.
Oats demand. however, proved rela-
lively small.
Provisions showed a sharp break. This
was due TO heavy selling by stock yard
houses.
The only rally OF consequence appeared
I'm January pork for which shorts were
compelled to pay a brisk advance

COTTON CLOSES
At NET DECLINE
Early Advance Is Lost,
and the Close Is
Easy

New York, January s1.--An early ad-
vance was lost In the cotton market
today and the close was easy at a net
decline of from TO IL points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of IL points on January and of
9 to 5 points on other positions owing
to the steady Liverpool cables and re-
ports that London had developed a
more optimistic view of the situation
in the Balkans. There seemed to be
some demand from eleventh-hour Jan
uary shorts and that position sold l.
points net higher right after the call
but the demand was supplied at a pre-
MUM of about 3s to 40 points over
March by leading spot brokers and
January contracts went out quietly
enough at midday.
The balance of the list meanwhile
sold about to 6 points net higher
during the early trading. but met in
creased offerings frcm Wall street OIL
other bearish sources. as well as con-
siderable realizing and lost good part
of the Improvement before midday
Less favorable spot advices from
New Orleans and central belt sections
encouraged more aggressive offerings
during the afternoon and as there ap-
peared to be few buyers around the
ring prices broke rather sharply. The
close was at the lowest level of the
day owing to the bearish view of the
weekend figures in regard to spinners
takings, which. according to New or
leans wires. fell sharply under the
record of last year.
Southern spot markets as officially
reported early were generally un-
changed but advices were received
here of increased offerings in the
southwest, which some were inclined To
credit on the ground of approaching
crop preparations. Private cables from
Liverpool attributed the relatively firm
ness there to continental and spinners'
buying and houses with foreign con-
nections were am long the best buyers
during the early trading. The close of
Liverpool. however, seemed TO shut out
the support from these sources which
was, therefore. supposed to have been
confined to straddles.

moderate amount of fresh buying for

after the cable. Cable messages from

The market had a decided holiday ap-

Fresh Produce Making Its

The rain and the fact that it was the
last day of the month made business
with the Morris avenue wholesalers
yesterday very light. There were no
changes in prices and the receipts were
more than adequate for the demand.
Fresh produce is beginning to make
its appearance in larger quantities.
Green peppers, cauliflower. egg plant

SMALL CHANGES IN
IMPORTANT STOCKS
Movement as a Whole Was
Faltering and
Irregular

New York, January 31.-There was no
trace today of the bullish enthusiasm Oh
yesterday in stock market speculation.
and although a fair degree OF strength de-
veloped in the fore part of the session,
yet the movement was as whole ral'er-
ing and irregular. Dealers operated IN
more cautious way. and there was
marked falling off in the amount of busi-
ness. Tentative efforts to bring about
reaction during the first hour accom-
pushed little, and the failure of the bears
was followed by increased activity on the
long side, with the result that Reading,
Union Pacific and United States Steel
Y ere marked up point or over.
The list failed to hold its advantage.
Turing the afternoon prices sagged back
ward.
Changes on the dag among the impor-
tant stocks were small. American can
stock, which has been. the conspicuous
feature of the week, was active during
the early part of the session and the COM
raon rose to 467s, or within fraction OF
the high record of last fall The unof-
fetal statement of a plan for paying Off

Inc issue of s15,000,o00 10 year per cent
de ebenture bonds was followed by a sharp
break, which bore down the common to A.
Bnd the preferred from 129 to l2419. The
break was attributed largely to realizing,
although there was some dear selling OH
the ground that the announcement of the
plan meant the conclusion of the upward
manipulation of these stocks, and that is
Stance of debentures entailed a consider
able increase in the fixed charges of the
Company. After the Can stocks touched
their low points, they became quiet, and
trading in those issues for the remainder
of the session was on a much smaller
kcale.
The gold export movement continued,
engagement of $1,00o.006 for France and an
equal amount fer South America being
announced. Foreign exchange weakened

1t Is more than probable that other
figures of spinners' takings will have to
be increased at the close of this season.
as at the close of the past two seasons,
because every spindle IS working which
can be put into operation.
| Meanwhile the Bombay receipts have
fallen TO within 1900 bales of last sea-
son and estimates of the East India crop
have been reduced from 100000 over last
season to 10000 over. Thus the other
crops of the world. both Indian and
Egyptian, are turning out less than esti-
mated.
In other years the course OF prices from
now on has been largely Influenced by
Information of this nature, which escapes
