LIBERAL EXPORT
DEMAND AIDS WHEAT
Free Realizing Sales on Each
Fractional Advance Fail
to Check Advance

Chicago, January 2s.-Wheat showed
buoyaney today, Notwithstanding evil
dence of free realizing sales on each frac-
tional advance. Liberal export demand
had much to do with sending prices high
er. There was steady close at a gain
of ssdi1sc to A@7sc. compared with last
night. Corn finished lsa1ec up and oats
dearer. 1sa14c to 14c, but provisions 12ls@
27isc down.
Export sales of wheat here amounting
to 100000 bushels were brought to light.
Other purchases intended for Europe
cropped out in Nebraska. At the same
time virtually all cable sdvices were on
the side of buyers. World shipments
promised to be small, offerings from Ar
gentina were meager and there was con-
tinuance of unusual cold in France. Aus
tralian advices told of active speculative
demand based on unexpected shortness of
yield and on liberal sales to Japan.
More activity was displayed during the
last hour in the wheat pit than for any
similar period before In three months. In
addition to the bullish news relative to
the export situation there was authority
for statements that outside of Michigan
and northern Indiana the entire winter
crop region WAS completely unprotected
by snow.
In the corn crowd, experience ranged
from a condition of dullness early to one
of strength and lively trade later on
There was a material Improvement in the
shipping demand. Predictions of cold
weather cut a good deal of figure with
some of the bulls. Other dealers, though,
were guided largely by the upturn IN
wheat.
Oats merely followed the more impor-
tant cereals and did not expand much
in the volume of business.
Hedging sales by packers reached a
heavier total than on previous days TINS
season in provisions. Eastern and local
speculative demand formed only partial
offset.

Hubbard Bros. & Co'sLetter

New York. January 23.-(SpeciaI) }
That the ginners' report should show
more cotton ginned during this period
than last year was indeed a surprise to
the trade and while the demand for cot
ton continues free. the effect has been
to check any bus4ng on the idea that
the figures were so large that spin
ners would not follow any advance
1t Is certain that with the ease in
the money markets OF the world that
industry Will Increase and that the con-
sumption of cotton will be the largest
on record.
Nevertheless the trade was dis
couraged and bearish. They feel that
large crop estimates will now be cur
rent and that gradually holders every
where will become free sellers.
Europe bought freely all day on ar
bitrage transactions with foreign mar
kets absorbing on very steady mar
lSet the long cotton.
