Chicago, Jan S2.-Predsctions that
Agentina shipments would be meager
had q oullish effect today on wheat.
Prices were reported higher at both
Buenos Aires and Artsio. In addition
values at Paris were UP on account OF
crop damage resulting from unusually
cold weather. The market opened un-
changed to A@A higher. and scored
q moderate advance all around.
Export sales brought about a greater
development Of strength. There was
uneasiness, too, regarding a possible
severe freeze in the winter crop belt.
The close was firm, % and q to = and
Is net higher.
Despite sea sonable temperatures the
buying Of corn was only fair. Prices
were Influenced chiefly by the upturn
Of wheat. Prices started Is off to like
advance and then made Slight gain.
Assertions that Boston was bidding
for export corn tended later to hoist
the market. The close was firm, y
and "a to cent higher.
Oats.
Oats showed firmness largely be-
cause of big reduction N the Argen-
tina crop. Trade. however, was light.
Provisions.
Stock yard buying lifted provisions.
First sales varied from a shade to 5
cents higher with a further rise later

Chicago, Jan. 22.-Wheat-A renewal
OF export business and a better general
inquiry for cash wheat brought good
buying in this market and again prices
were more than equal to che loss Of
the last three days. Argentina wheat
at Antwerp was q higher, indicating
better continual demand. With
domestic winter wheat condition so ex-
ce1lert that Improvement is practically
impossible, the accidents of weather
seem to favor holders.
Corn-Bids for corn for export were
said to be within u cent of working
basis. With shippers and elevator in
terests in the cash market. prices for
future delivery advanced sharply to-
wards midday and closed IS cent high
er. There Is said to be improved de-
DOill OO4llcSllC ana IOl
corn products. Present hog values en-
courage liberal feeding and the weight
and condition Of hogs now coming to
market indicate that they have been
consuming more corn than has general
ly been supposed. With sentiment very
generally bearish, declines are likely to
occur.
Oats-Oats were firm with the other
grain markets. The Argentina surplus
is said to be considerably less than that
of year ago. Those in control of local
elevator stocks are gradually mer-
chandising them and should firmness
continue in other grains. decline in oats
is likely to be moderate and temporary.
Provisions.-Despi1 the fact that the
local hog market was lower, an esti-
mate issued yesterday declaring the
number Of hogs on feed to be Z per cent
less than a year ago was responsible
for good buying Of provisions. High
est prices of the season were made and.
on the sharp advance the principal
pressure noticeable came from realiz-
ing sales. Reactions are likely to occur
from present levels.
