WHEAT STRONGER
AFTER The SEVERE
BREAK YESTERDAY
Market Affected by Lack of
Confirmation Of Reports
That Dardanelles Forts
Had Fallen.

CHICAGO, Jan. l2.-Lack Of conhrma-
tion Of the reports that some Of the forts
of the Dardanelles mad fallen, which were
responsible fol the severe break in wheat
yesterday caused the market to open
strong today. The news from abroad was
bullish.
Wet weather was reported from many
countries, and some advices indicated
anxiety for the crops. German mllers
complained about the scarcity of wheat
and reports from Austria regarding seed
ing were not available but 1t Is accepted
1t Is on a small scale A petition has
been sent to the Spanish Government
asking for the abolition of the import
duty on wheat
The market at Liverpool showed under
lying strength on a further advance In
Argentine freight rates of rs. Cd to SIS Cd
The visible supply OF wheat In Europe
Is IL5OOO00 bushels against 7694S 900
bushels last weak and 7IO5OO, 900 bushels
last year.
The technical position here was much
relieved by yesterdays heavy selling, and
ii was believed export sales will con-
tinue large. Some traders showed
nervousness because of the attitude of
Government officials as a result of the
high prices for foodstuffs. Local cash
handlers reported a large export and
milling demand. Many shorts covered
here today. The selling was scattered.
Corn was stronger because OF large
sales for export, The news from abroad
was bullish with plate offers higher on
the further rise i'm Argentine freight
rates. There is continued good export
demand at Buenos Aires.
Oats also were higher. Large com
mission concerns bought. The selling
was scattered.
Provisions moved up sharply on lighter
receipts of hogs than had been expected
and because of the sale of n large line
of cash lard to packer, who evidently
has orders for it,
