Chicago, Jan. 14.-A great many
traders are bullish on wheat. but are
not buying any to speak of. the fact
that prices have not declined sharply
during the recent decline In corn, Is
regarded by some good traders as evid-
ence of a strong position. A revival or
the demand from ~sea-board exporters
here and in southwest, is taken by
them as indicating a good healthy fea-
ture. 1t was the gossip in certain
quarters that the leading long interest
is selling it's wheat as fast as possible
on all strong spots. Corn traders In
general are less bearish than Of late:
The news that Argentine has sold all
its good corn was taken as significant.
Most of those who were in the pit all
day said traders have sold too much
short corn the past two days n that
the market was in shape to do some
better. Cash sales wheat $4,000; corn
200, 900 bushels; oats 10000 bushels;
~sea-board reported 175,000 bushels;
Manitoba wheat sold for export to PoT.
tugal and Kansas City sold 100000
bushels abroad n Omaha $4,000 BUSH
