WHEAT SCORES GAINS
IN EARLY. TRADING
Fresh Strength Develops When Ru-
mors Of Kaiser's Death Are Not
Conhrmed-Other Gains Firm.

| CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 6.-Wheat de-
veloped fresh strength today. infiu-
enced BY the fact that rumors of the
kaiser's death had failed to be con-
firmed. The presence of a cold wave
/ in the absence of snow protection over
the intercrop belt tended to lift prices.
Advances in ocean freight rates. how
ever, and lower quotations from Liver
pool acted as a handicap on the bulls.
The opening, which ranged from y to
A higher. with May at 1.271a to 1.27 =.
and July at 119N to 1.1sN, was fol-
lowed by decided further gains, but
then a sharp reaction.
Waves of buying hoisted corn, The
government crop report continued to be
the incentive. After opening @sak TO
1a1A higher the market scored fur
ther gairs before undergoing mod
crate setback.
Oats hardened with other grain. Bulls
pointed out that oats were 8 cents
lower than year ago, whereas corn
was I cent higher.
Higher prices on hogs gave hit to
provisions. Gains. though, were not
fully maintained.
The wheat market later rallied on ac-
count of smsllness of receipts north
west and owing to assertions that I'M
ports from Canada were next to impos-
Slble because OF the QlHlculty u SeI~
ting cars. Upturns. though. were moro
than Offset by advices telling OF pro-
spective larger shipments from Argen.
tina and Australia in consequence OF
new cargo regulations by the British
government.
Car scarcity and the smallness Of
country offerings helped to cause re-
newed strength in corn. Besides Liver
pool prices were the highest ever
known. The close was steady, at Sa&
to q net advance.

LONDON STOCK MARKET.

LONDON, January 6.-Money was in
increased demand and discount rates
were steady today. Exchequer bonds are
selling as well as treasury bills. the sales
of the former for the past fortnight total
ing over f23 100000. American exchange
was strong and cable transfers touched
4.76A. II Is the opinion in exchange
circles that the rate is going higher. as a
good demand exists for stock checks, in
dicating that holders Of American seclr-
titles prefer to sell through the ordinary
channels rather than tho mobilization
scheme.
The stock market maintains an optimis-
tic tone, but politics caused q slight decline
in British funds. Other gilt-edged secur-
tiles. however. were steady, and homo
rails Joined in tho improvement. There
was a good demand for kafflrs. and cop
per shares generally were strong.
American securities were dull. Only
few transactions were recorded. and the
