Grain Review

Chicago. Jan. 12.-Prospects Of a
severe cold wave had a bullish effect
today on wheat. 1t was apparently
feared by many traders hat the drop
in temperatures would result in damage
to the winter crop. Higher quotations
from Liverpool counted also against
the bears. Prices here, after opening
Nc to 1hc up, with May at $1.26A to
$1.2S and July at $1.19% to $1.20, scor-
ed a slight further advance.
Additional gains ensued owing to
talk that conditions we're somewhat
the same as those which produced a
widespread ice pack in the fields, and
largely wiped out the soft wheat crop
OF 1912. Besides, gossip Of a liberal ex-
port business was current. The close
was strong, ~ to ~ @1Ac net high
er, with May at $1.2S and July at
$1.2OR.>
Corn hardened in value owing to
chances that the unsettled weather
would delay the movement Of the crop.
yet this\season. Opening figures, which
ranged from a shade to sc higher,
We're followed by a slight further ad-
and then a moderate reaction.
Evidence Of a good export demand
resulted later in temporary additional
gains. The close was steady at % to Is
csc net advance.
Oats rose with other grain. n
selling there came chiefly from resting
orders. ~
Higher prices on hogs lifted pro-
visions. Considerable attention, too,
was given to the advance in corn and
to the active demand from Canada for
dressed hogs.
