OF the No. hard selling at $1.s1 ".
No. mixed brought from S1.s7 to sl.s2h

The corn market was very active and al
though the demand for all grades was
strong, the yellow and white sold at a

corn Of this grade going at 92hc
The bulk of the corn, however, graded
No. ., with the yellow and white going at
ahc and the mixed at stkc and soc.
The oats market, while It followed wheat
and corn on the advance, was very dull. and
very small part Of the offerings were
sold
The rye market was also very quiet. hui
barley was pretty active at lc to &c higher
NO rye was quoted at Si.H and most OF
the sales of barley were made at prices

Diminishing Domestic Supply Of Wheat
Tends TO Cause Advance in Prices.

Chicago, Jan. ls.--Active buying on the
part OF houses with seaboard connections
carried the wheat market decidedly up
grade today, Closing prices were strong.

gained Nc to &c, oats Nc to 1Mc. and pro-
visions NC TO a2hc.
Purchasing of wheat appeared to be in
crcasingly based on, notice of conditions
that, according to some leaders, suggested
not only complete elimination OF the sur
plus supply In the United States but also
indicated possible scarcity before the ma :
turing Of a new crop.
European advices told of need OF wheat
and -four Importation on a large scale. and
In view Of the destruction Of shipping In
the south Atlantic seemed to a majority of
traders to point to North America and
especially the United States as the logical
chief resource for buyers, Bullish esti-
mates, however, we're current as TO the
amount of wheat available for export from
this country before July l, and there seemed
to be a corresponding urgency in the sea-
Possibiiities 81 renewed German interfer.
ence with steamships on the routes from
the United States to Europe did not re-
ceive much attention today from wheat
traders. The fact that large numbers Of
boats were awaiting cargoes at the sea-
board tended to Offset anxiety on that score.

Corn reached the highest price on record

In the case OF wheat. houses with seaboard
connections were persistent buyers from the
start. Crop and vessel news from Ar
genttna favored the advance In values. Oats
were stimulated by the same influences that
affected corn and wheat. II was said that
shipments OF oats from Argentina had been
virtually reduced to zero.
Al FIRST provisions were easy in line with
the hog market. Later the strength OF
grain led to substantial advance.
