Chicago, Jan. 81.-Wheat prices took
an upward swing today influenced by
Liverpool advices that, contrary to pre-
dict1ons shipments from Australia and
Argentina were light and were not
likely to be on a large scale at any
time during February. Besides the
amount Of wheat on ocean passage
showed a notable falling off as COM
pared either with the corresponding
time last week or a year ago. 1t was
said also that reports Of reselling on
the part Of European buyers had been
greatly exaggerated. Opening prices
which ranged from ss OK lower to Is
OK advance. were followed by sub
stantiaI gains all around.
A break in the New York stock
market lead afterwards to a decided
reaction. There was much talk of the
possibilities Of International compltca-
tons. Prices closed heavy, ~ Ola
to PA @2a cents net lower, with May
at 1.31H and July at 1894.
Corn.
Adverse weather conditions had a
bullish effect on corn The buying
was mainly In small lots. After open
ing a shade to y higher, the market
continued to ascend.
Later the market receded when
wheat turned down grade. Many stock
loss orders were uncovered. The close
was weak at - to IL cents net de.
cline.
Oats,
Oats mate only a poor response to
the strength Of other cereals, and trade
lacked volume.
Provisions.
Provisions were weak notwithstand-
ing higher prices on hogs and grain.
Big decreases in exports appeared to
be chiefly responsible.
