than 100000 bushels can be spared.
TIT great strength of the foreign
market was the subject OF much com
ment. At Liverpool the declines In the
American markets OF Friday were not
responded to. Obviously that action
was accounted for by the naval war
fare. II In quite natural that for
eignerS construe the possible interrupt
ton to the Transporting OF their recent
purchases as bullish In their own mar
kets. At Buenos Ayres prices gained
three cents for the day in reflection OF
bad weather In the Argentine and on
the eager demand for wheat from Eu-
ropean sources. A we'll defined report
that tho Russian Government intended
to purchase control OF the grain sup
piles In Its country did not receive
much attention. as 1t In understood
important exports Of grain from Rus
sia are out Of the question for several
weeks at least.
The c~learances from domestic points
Yesterday were roughly 100000 BUSH
els and for the week total $500, 600.
against 100000 bushels the previous
week and 100000 a year ago. In
terror receipts for the week were s.
$3.50 bushels. comparing with 5.0l0.-
600 and $4,000 bushels respectively
W. hEAtfA
900 bushels and l.Ss+.OO0 were shown.
Another large decrease In the visible
supply showing liz rocked for on Tues.
day.
C~orn-There was an enormous trade
in the corn market during yesterdays
short session. Thu unloading by specu-
lative holders was very heavy at times
1t was readily perceived that marginal
account had been drained and that
stop loss orders were executed. The
drop in wheat and the general political
situation were the prime factors In
unsettiins the bulls. Rumors OF larger
country offerings were heard, but there
was a decided difference OF opinion as
to the attitude OF farmers in view
oi the decline in values and the supply
and demand situation.
The break was checked by heavy
short covering and some fresh demand
from the advocates OF higher levels.
Much was said OF a big foreign demand
hut the actual sales reported were not
large. Al the same time II was con-
cluded that with heavy purchasing of
wheat and oats by Europeans corn
was not being overlooked. a very
mixed sentiment was noted during the
day. which doubtless contributed to the
large commission house business.
Interior receipts for the week were
5.12s.0 900 bushels. against 5.5+S.00O the
previous week and 6.025.0OO a year ago.
The shipments for these periods were
4,24S.000 bushels, 6,0s0,000 and $3.50
600 bushels.
Oats.-The pressure TO sell oats was
pronounced at the outset. II was evil
dent that many holders. speculative and
other. were disturbed by the depression
In other markets and by the shipping
difficulties. A large demand from export
quarters helped til. list in the late
dealings. Estimates as to the foreign
purchases were close to 1000, 900 bush
els.
PrDvisions-Pork was the weakesi
feature in the market. The selling was
based partly on the drop In grain values
There was talk OF liberal hog receipts
for this coming week. The speculative
long account In the market is believed
t. have considerably reduced.
