Chicago. Jan. 1.-Wheat-A heavy
fall of snow over the western portion
of the wheat belt with moderate tenn
peratures thru the southwest caused an
easier tone in wheat, altho a recovery
from the low point occurred, due large
ly to selling orders in hands of COM

the day is Is to Il and for the week
1@1A Only nine cars were on sale
and cash demand was slow. Country
offerings are a little more liberal, and
altho Mondays statistics are likely
to show some Increase due to the lib

Corn-There was considerable pres

OF strength. shorts showed a DISPOSE

ket is Is to Il higher for the day. Price
changes for the week are quite mod

change in being Y cent lower. The
movement, DOLn In ana out, is lgnt as
compared with previous years. the ma
jorlty of farmers being unwilling to
sell at present prices and the weather
decidedly unfavorable for the move
ment. The east continues to buy SPAR
ingly, but it seems likely that the
change in the weather may increase
the western demand.
Oats-Oats show little change in

trade continues largely local and price
changes are influenced to very large
degree by fluctuations in corn.
Provfsions-At the opening provis-
ions were higher, but the advance met
the usual opposition from stockyards
interests, causing some liquidation by

buying checked the decline and, at the

Chicago, Jan 31.-Hsavy snow to-
day thruout the eastern half of the
winter crop belt pulled down the price
of wheat. The reason was that alb
sence of snow protection for autumn
eown fields has Of late been one of the
chief supports of the market. Predic-
tons of large shipments especially
from Russia also favored The bears.
The price opening was h0A to q
cent lower, and later suffered slight
additional setback.
Resting commission orders to buy at
decline checked the weakness. The
close was steady, IS to y cent net
lower.
Corn was steadied by the change t.
wintry conditions. 1t was said she'll
ing and hauling would be delayed and
that feeding demand would increase.
The opening was unchanged to Il
higher and the market seemed inclined
to keep within n cent either way from
last nights level.
Prospects later of an improved call
from the east added a little to the
firmness. The close was steady, 1s

Oats.
Traders in oats governed themselves
by the action in corn. Business was
