CHICAGO. January 7.-Indifferent Ca
bles had a bearish effect today on
wheat Attention to the fact that much
of the United States surplus already
under contract for export had not yet
left this country and was in emer-
gency subject to reselling. tended also
to sober the bulls. On the other hand,
country offerings remained small and
interior mills were outbidding termi-
nal markets. After opening II to
cent lower. prices here sagged little
further and then made moderate
rally.
Large receipts put selling pressure
on corn. The heaviness of wheat act
ed also as weight on values. Open
ing quotations, which varied from h
to as off, were followed by slight
additional setback.
Oats gave way with wheat and corn.
Trade was rather small.

day to go to Italy on a basis that fig
