CLOSE IS WEAK
ON Grain MARKET
New High Prices Reached
After Opening but Break
Comes Later.

Chicago. Jan. 26.-Buoyancy in the
wheat market continued today even
after a fresh high record price for this
season had been made the fourth time
in four successive days. The fresh ad-
vances resulted from Liverpool dis
patches that the consumption of sup
plies was exceeding the arrivals and
that the demand for wheat from the
United States would be undated
while such condition remained. There
were also advices that Kansas fields
were covered with sleet ice and that
colder weather threatened damage to
the winter crop. After opening a
shade off to q "a higher, the market
sagged a trifle and then scored a sharp
general advance. First prices for May
were 1864 to 1865 and July 1861 to
1863.
