Grain Review

Chicago. Jan. 15.--Wheat prices tend
ed upward today owing to diminishing
stocks and enlarging clearances for Eu-
rope. According to leading authority
the total amount OF wheat available
for export from the United States pc
tween now and July had been reduced
to 74,O0O000 bushels. On the other hand
the estimated probable clearances this
week from Galveston and New Orleans
alone were 5000. 900 bushels and 1t was
said that vessel tonnage at the gulf
ports was becoming more abundant.
Opening prices, which ranged from
off to S7sc advance with May at $1.S5 to
1.s5A and July at 1.49h to 1.5OA. were
followed by material upturn all around
but then something of reaction.
Absence of any important new export
buying operated later as handicap on
the bulls. The close was heavy at
$1S4h to $3.50 May, and $1.4Sls
July. l tsc decline to &c advante COM
pared with Saturdays finish.
Further crop damage reports from Ar
gentina had Strengthening influence
on corn. The market showed sympathy
also with the ascent of wheat. after OPP
ening nc higher prices scored moder-
ate further gains.
Export demand together with light
ness of country offerings helped to pre-
vent any decided bearish reaction. The
close though was weak at the same as

Oats took the upgrade with other
cereals. Trade however, was light. Fal-
