TODAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago. Jan. T,-WHEAT-Profit tax
ig by holders continued today to have Il
weakening on the wheat mar5et here. The
disposition to make further sales realizin z
was largely due to reports from Liverpool
that buyers were holding off in anticipa-
ton of reduced vessel rates, presumably
from Argentina On the other hand lead
ing authority predicted that Argentina
shipments would be light. Opening prices,
which ranged from u c to ~ lower. with
May at S1.35 to $1.36 and July at 81 25$4
to S1.26- were followed by rally but
then a fresh decline.
Reports that foreigners were re-selling
at the seaboard led to an additional sag
but the market soon had a sharp reaction
The bulls laid stress on the chances of ex-
tensive winter killing by a predicted cold
wave The close was steady at 5s0Ac to
1sse, net advance with May 1865 a 81,
and July S1-275s.
CORN-Unsettled weather that threaten
ed to cut down receipts and to spoil the
quality of some of the supply made corn
prices firm The lifting of an embargo on
shipments to Baltimore tended also to helm
the bulls. After opening Ne to sc off to
a shade advance, the market scored mod
crate general gains.
The temporary break in wheat did not
have much influence on corn. Prices closed
steady at &c TO A6asc net advance.
OATS-Oats hardened with corn Price
changes though were narrow.
OVISIONS-Provisions showed little
activity The lack of aggressiveness on
either side left quotations about steady.
