WHEAT PRICES ADVANCE
ON WINTER CROP FEARS
ALI Deliveries Rise to Highest Fig
ures on 1915 Yield-Further
Gains Before Reaction,

CHICAGO. January 1s.-All deliveries
of wheat rose today to the highest
prices on the 1915 crop. Chances OF
severe damage by the cold wave in The
winter wheat belt. formed the chief
cause of the advance. which was also
Influenced by cable dispatches that
British import requirements would be
larger than expected. and that the
amount of wheat on ocean passage was
likely to show a decided falling of.
There were also bullish estimates cur
rent as to the quantity of wheat still
remaining on farms in the United
States.
After opening q to IL cents higher.
the market scored additional gains
before beginning to react. First prices
for May were 1883 to 129. and for
July, 1872 to 122N.
Corn Moves With Wheat.
Corn sympathized with wheat.
Drought in Argentina counted, too.
against the bears. Opening prices.
which ranged from haA to %ah cent
higher, were followed by a slight sag.
Oats traders took their cue from the
strength of other grain. Selling was
only Of a scattered sort.
Curtailment of hog receipts brought
about an upturn in provisions. Longs.
who unloaded yesterday were 'conspic-
uous buyere.
Reports of immense sales of cash
provisions were denied by specialists.
According to such authorities the do
mestic demand was little slower than
of late. Some active buying of lard by
seaboard interests. however. was re-
ported.
Assertions that English buyers re-
fused to follow the advance led after
ward to setbacks. The close was unset
tied. Nan to AaH net higher, with
May at 1.2Sk a1.28A and July at 1.21%
