The liouidatinr movement which resulted
in a break Of about loo n bushel In the
wheat market last week was again IN prog.
ress. and prices showed further declines OF

made on January 26. At times during the
day there were rallies on scattered buying by
those who believed that the market had de-
clined enough and that rally was to be ex-
pected, but on every upturn long wheat came
out in volume. and there were evidences Of
more aggressive operations on the part OF
bears.
The weakness in the stock market and ex-
IRENE nervousness over political conditions
in general added materially To the feeling OF
insecurity.
The Liverpool market was very weak and
sentiment abroad was apparently bearish
owing TO the decline in America and to pros
poets of larger shipments from the Southern
Hemisphere.
Exporters were credited with taking about
ESQ. 900 bushels on the decline. but this
failed to check the selling movement and
final quotations we're at the lowest The
visible supply in the United States showed
y decrease for the week Of l.l2i.0 bushels,
compared with decrease of 2.269. 900 last
week and "a decrease of 2.072.000 last year
Worlds exports for the week were 1889, 900.
compared with lO.90s. 900 last week and l2.-
$4,000 last year. Crop sdvices from the
Southwest were again unfavorable and there
were productions OF serious Nfop ~

CORN.
Heavy liquidation occurred in the corn
market and prices declined sharply. closing
ut only slightly above the lowest. with net
losses Of 3i,M3ssc. The general nervous
ness in financial circles and the continued
.lquidation in wheat caused longs TO sell
freely. Scarcity of ocean tonnage and the
high freight rates rs well as railroad en-
bsrgocs made export business next to inn
possible. however. and this served TO check
buying. The visible supply showed an in
crease OF 2.275.ooo bushels for the week, COM
pared with a decrease of 5000 last year. In
the local cash market No , yellow corn was
quoted at SPA SEC New York.

Is Silver to Be Re-
Monetized?

There is nothing remarkable
in the high price OF silver at the
present time, in fact, just the re-
verse. While the white metal
has not yet reached the pinnacle
attained a few months ago, the
strength and tenacity of the
present market give promise OF
"A new high record to be reached
soon.
During these times when nearly
everything produced in this
country has been skyrocketing
in price, the continued low price
OF silver has been a puzzle to
many OF its producers, since it
should have raised at least fifty
per cent to attain the average
high level of other commodities
Now that the United States
has copped oil most OF the gold
supply OF the world. those coun-
tries that have adopted the gold
STANDARD OF money fud them,
selves IN "A quandary and are
badly in need OF silver as a basis
for their monetary systems
Silver they must have, and sill
