CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. Jan. There was an exceptional day in
the wheat market on the Board Of Trade when new
high prices were reached as May sold at L3sEs and
July at l2ih. These prices compare with l36 and
lEAs. respectively at the close Of Wednesday.
There an odfashioned boom TO Be in the
wheat pit. with the leading influences continuation
n the big export tRkngs, and with sales in all posi-
tons Of 10000 bushels more. In addition TO
the enormous quantities Of wheat taken by foreigners
in the various markets. there were heavy purchases
Of oats and corn for foreign shipment, and goOdly
quantities q -four were also absorbed.
For several days past it has been the wish Of the
more prominent concerns in the trade that wheat Re
held around certain price level 1t IS the wish
Of the board Of trade officials that markets
b. checked. The situation, however is not in CON
troll q any one man, any one set Of men. The
hlyng power asserts itself. and there is way Of
checking II. There is continued sharp competition
between exporters, millers and the foundation
pOr4tions Of the East Wheat must be had by all
Of these interests and from the condition surround
ing the market today this grain must he obtained
at onCc.
Word came from Kansas that thr lroduc,rs in

Interior milleTs have purchased considerable wheat
at Chicago during the last few days, and several Of
these the board Of trade today looking
after the cash wheat. Liberal transactions were
made in cash wheat in the Southwestern markets.
as wen those Of the Northwest. and this grain
will be taken out Of elevators in different positions
Gains were made Of = TO &c for corn and u TO
lc for oats. Cash transactions in corn were 800
90 bushels, and Of oats 10000 bushels About
half the com wEs taken for export and nearly all
the oats. and the sales were made principally by
Chicago concerns.
Provisions sold literally today by Chicago
and Milwaukee packers which caused values to
rule somewhat lower. There was . general de-
mand for tho May deliveries however especially
pork The bulk Of this buying was on outside
orders and par Of it was the result Of the strength
shown by grain.

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES Strong
Substantial Advances Show
Broadening Trend of Trad
ing in Shares.
AMERICAN CAN SCARS
Bethlehem Steel Also Scores Rise, In
creasing Margin Over United
States Steel.

New York, Jan. Stocks closed strong
today in a broadening market. with sub
stantial advances in industrlaIs that
finally lifted the rails sharply.
Prices bubbled. d preliminary state be-
fore the boiling point is reached. and this
condition has been brought about by a
public demand rather than activity or
manipulation. Commission business is
still at the minimum, and investment
buying predOminates.
American Can led the advance. Some
time ago. when conditions in the trade
were nothing like as prosperous as they
are today, the common shares sold
above 35.
The buying today looked like accumu-
latiOn by inside interests, and this prob
ably was justified by the increased earn
tnSs due to the heavy demand for Cans
product brought about by the way.
Bethlehem SteI Scars.
Bethlehem Steel common rose to ~ 10
increasing the margin between this stock
and United States Steel common. This
is not surprising. in view of reported
earnings. Bethlehem Steel in 1913 earned
about 50 per cent on this common stock
Earnings last year were equally as large
with the prospect that in 1915 the COM
pdlN W Ill snow net earnings OF 80 per
cent United States Steel common, on
the other hand. is not earning the divi-
dend rate of per cent per annum now
being paid.
Corn Products common rose from S1-z
TO Sl-2, and the preferred gained points
on a sale of l"D shares The business OF
this company has not been curtained by
the war, and although the margin of
Profit Is small, there is every prospect
that this margin will increase as busi-
ness expands Speculatively. the common
Shares are considerably more attractive
Auto Stocks Advance.
Automobile stocks scored sharp ad-
Eances, Maxwell Motors issues gaining
! to points. General Motors was quiet,
although earnings are said to be running
close to so per cent.
Pittsburgh Coal issues were strong on
the Improvement in business throughout
the iron districts. This is a valuable
property, and one Of the pet projects of
H. c. FriCk. The common shares. now
selling at Il. sold as high as o last year.
American Beet Sugar. Central Leather
and American Linseed issues came in for
prominence at rising prices. OF the stand
ard issues, Reading is a favorite. and a
substantial advance is anticipated by
some of the room traders
Copper shares rose a point or more on
hrmness OF the metaE but no substantial
advance can be looked for in these is
sues so long as shipments to Germany
are barred.

ate hearing OF the Federal arbitration
board, which is looking into the demands
Of 64,Uo0 enginemen for higher wages and
improved working conditions on ninety
eight Western roads. W. Jett Lauck,
expert accountant and witness for the

Lauck says that the interests which

ceived 36,0OO.O0O for their Services" ]. P.
Morgan & Co. received $1,000 coo for SELL
ing 100000 first mortgage bonds.
