New York, January There was

ant outstanding interest on either side
OF the deal, no noteworthy f1unctua-
lions seemed warranted, especially as
there was scarcity of potent in
fluences.
Temporarily at the outset there was
rather more steadiness owing partly to
encouraging cables, European markets
being influenced slightly by the light
worlds shipments and the resultant big
decrease IL the quantity on passage.
This latter was. however, partly offset
by favorable crop reports from Argen-
tina. subsequently, firrlness was caus-
ed by shorts covering, prompted by
itional complaints respecting the
insufficient moisture in the Southwest
and also by the prevailing uneasiness
respecting political affairs in Europe
The factors described were, however
partly counterbalanced by fairly large
receipts at primary points, and the
fact that the increase in the visible
supply was larger than anticipated.
Narrow Fluctuations.
Late in the week the market con-
tinued inactive. without further
changes OF moment, the fluctuations as
a rule being still circumscribed. Tenn
porarily there was slightly more firm

Outlook for the Future.
While conservative merchants anti
cipate no radical changes In the i'm
mediate future. they incline TO the
opinion that prices are down close to
a solid basis. The opinion is based up
on the assumption that most needy
farmers have marketed a large part
OF their surplus, while well-to-do farm
ers are reluctant TO accept current
bids, and consequently receipts at In
terror points may show some falling
off ere long. AS we have already ship
ped about three quarters of our eX
portable surplus, small fluctuations in
Europe seem no longer worthy of at
tention- In short. we have arrived at "A
stage when domestic conditions win
probably dominate.
There have been few II any important
changes in corn markets during the
week. aside from the big break in De-
cember contracts in Chicago during the
