Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, JAM. 14.-Wheat: Has gain
ed Use for the day. The strength has
come largely from buying induced by
reported liberal export sales although
actual figures are hard to obtain when
these rumors are traced, down. Tho
color to this situation and bad weather
in Argentine has delayed shipments
from there. The bull fever has been
carefully nursed and local sentiment Is
unanimously arrayed on that side. Do
nestle situation shows no Improvement
and cash demand except for the report
ed export business Is exceedingly dull.
We think that when bull fever has
subsidized it will be found that leading
holders have disposed of a goodly
quantity Of their wheat at high prices.
Corn-Has been the leader in activity
scoring l lac advance and a complete
reversal in sentiment. There has been
covering by a number of the prominent
shorts and one large local concern were
persistent buyers today, evidently talk
ing the long side for their clients.
Trade broadened materially and there
is no doubt but what the covering
movement assumed very large proper
by the report that Argentine old corn
surplus Is practically exhausted and
new will not be available for several
weeks. This should materially help the
cash situation, especially in the east
but only temporarily: There is, no
interest has been largely eliminated
and the market tonight is therefore
in a weaker position. We advocate
sales at closing levels on any further
advance.
Oats-Followed corn. Trade how
ever. was small and largely profession
