Chicago. Jan. 27.-Profit taking by
holders continued today to have a
weakening effect on the wheat market
here. The disposition to make further
realizing sales was largely due 10 re-
ports from Liverpool that buyers were
holding off in anticipation Of reduced
rates. On the other hand, a leading
authority predicted that Argentina
shipments would be light. Opening
prices, which ranged from y to IA
cents lower, with May at 1.35 TO 1856
and July at l.25& and 1.25. were fol-
lowed by a rally and then a fresh de-
cline.
Reports that foreigners were resell
ing at the seaboard led to an additional
sag, but the market soon had a sharp
reaction The bulls laid stress on the
chances of extensive winter killing by
predicted cold wave. The close was
steady. at q az to rs cents net ad-
vance, with May at 1856 Is 10 1.37, and
July at 1.279s.
Corn.
Unsettled weather that threatened to
cut down receipts and to spoil the
quantity of some of the supply make
barge on shipments to Baltimore
tended also to help the bulls. After
opening 4 and g off to a shade ad-
vance, the market scored moderate
general gains.
The temporary break in wheat did
not have such influence on corn. Prices
closed steady at Il to 4 42s net adj
vance.
Oats.
Oats hardened with corn. Price
changes were narrow.
Provisions.
Provisions showed little activity.
The lack of asgressiveness on either
side left the quotations about steady.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-wheat-Without
any particular reason except that
pause in the export business was re-
ported from the seaboard. commission
houses sold wheat freely at the opening

regained last nights closing price and

were leading buyers and commits sion
houses seemed to have orders from the
seaboard.
Corn-Continued unsettled weather
over most of the belt and the removal
of the embargo by one of the leading
eastern roads against Baltimore, were
features in a steady corn market.
Oats-There was considerable vol
ume of selling of long oats early with
local traders pressing the selling side.
Commission houses absorbed the offer
ings at the decline and when other
grains turned strong oats followed. De-
mand for oats continues good and coun-
try offerings are moderate.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-An unconfirmed
dispatch from Amsterdam reports
Germany, in her latest representations
to the American government asks the
United States to define the term de.
fensiva armament.
A dispatch stated that the German
reply was en- route to Washington and
should be delivered within forty-eight
hours Official circles here accept this
report as an indication that Germany
does not want a break in diplomatic
relations with America and is prepar-
ing to yield.
The German foreign office, accord
ing to the Amsterdam dispatch, asks
the United States to specify what size
gun it deems necessary for defense
purposes. In this manner, it is be
lieve6, Germany hopes to force from
the United States state department
such an exact definition of armament
that it may prove embarrassing to the
owners of belligerent ships which have
been entering American ports with
guns Of comparatively large calibre.
Ii is believed also that Germany
hopes in this manner to prolong the ne
sotiations until the excitement in both
countries is over and the new crisis
has died down.
