CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-iEuropes bitter need

was stilI roundly so cents bushel un-
der the price forced here in 1898 by Joseph

Notwithstanding that wheat today at
one time showed a rise Of 37s cents over
Saturday night. the upturn apparently
had little. IL any. effect on farmers. Coun-
try offerings were decidedly meager. as
they have been for some time past.
Public Buys Heavily.
Although the prime impetus for high
prices came from seemingly unlimited ex-
port demands, no doubt that the general
public bought wheat heavily and espe-
cially so in the last hour of the session.
Millers. too. were said to be anxious
buyers. fearing that the tremendous OK
port call would leave them short OF sup
plies Roughly, the total sales to Europe
today in the United States were estimated
at 100000 bushels. OF this aggregate,
10000 bushels was definitely known TO be
for the relief Of the starving people of
Belgium.
Experienced observers failed to notice
any unusual excitement despite the swift
upward swing OF the market. The one
striking fact was the steady absorption OF
every bushei of wheat offered for sale.

Talk among brokers centered almost
wholly on the idea that for the time be-
