CHICAGO GRAIN AN royIsIoNs.
Wheat After Cautious start Scores Moderate
Advance

Chicago, Feb. 2.--Rumors that an Ameri-
can ship had been sunk and that loss OF life
had resulted brought unsettled close. The
finish ranged from shc decline to axe ad-
vance as compared with yesterdays latest
figures. Corn and oats wound up Virtually
unchanged and provisions loo TO s2c higher.
Flurried trading In wheat did not de-
velop until the last hour OF the session and
was confined chiefly TO the May option.
The fart that the sellers were led by
house which had successfully. anticipated
yesterdays big break In prices did good
deal to emphasize the weakness accom-
panied the rumors OF a naval mishap. On
the other hand lack Of confirmation of any
attack on an American craft served to check
a general fall In prices. II was not until
after the days business was at an end that
the probable basis for the rumors was found
IN dispatches referring TO the destruction
OF Belgian relief ship which may possibly
have had Americans on board.
Exertme cold endangerlng the winter crop,
especially In Illinois and Missouri gave u
moderate lift to wheat prices during tho
earlier part OF the day. venturesome buy
ers were disposed also to take the ground
that the absence as yet OF any rupture be-
tween the United States and Germany af
forded hope that break In diplomatic rela-
tons might stiil he averted A majority
OF dealers. however, seemed inclined to
preserve q cautious attitude pending definite
Developments and there was not much
due TO disturbing rumors after midday.
Indications OF revival Of seaboard de-
mand for corn strengthened that cereal
temporarily but profit taking on the part
Of buyers resulted afterward In reaction
sprinfield. Ill. sold 2oo,0 bushels to go to
the seaboard at the highest premiums on the
crop. Oats merely kept pace with corn
Trade was light.
Provisions bulged on account Of buying
that was credited to packers and to eastern
houses. The best demand was for lard.N

GRAIN and PRODUCE.
Cash Wheat Climbs a Few
Points, but Lack of Export
Demand Hurts.
CORN PRICES ADVANCE, Toe

Omaha, February 2, 1917.
The cash wheat market recovered some Of
the heavy losses OF yesterday and prices
ruled about &c higher. The shipping de-
nand for wheat was not very good and as
result the local demand for cash wheat
was not very active. Receipts, however, had
considerable to do with the dizziness in the
cash market, as only thirteen cars OF wheat.
twenty-seven cars OF corn and four cars OF
oats were received. Sales OF No. hard
wheat were made at si.ss@i.ssH The No.
hard brought from sl.st@lss. and one
car Of No. mixed sold for sls2h.
Corn sales were also very light and while
there was fair demand for the different
varieties the yellow and mixed sold little
faster than the white. but there was onl5
few samples Of white corn on the tables.
Prices on corn were quoted from y q2hc
higher, the better grades Of yellow selling
at ssc and the mixed ranging In price from
san @s3c.
Oats were extremely quiet but followed
wheat and corn and sold about Ike higher.
the No. white going at 5lhc and the
sample grade at 5o%c.
Bye was duh at a 90 decline and harley
also was quoted &c lower.
Primary wheat receipts were $4,000 BUSH

BRADsTREETS TRADE REVIEW.
Trade Circles Disturbed BY Grave
Character of Note.

New York. Feb. 2.-Bradstreets will say !:
Trade circles have been disturbed by
the grave character of the new German
note and speculative markets depressed by
waves OF liquidation shipping rates and In
surance risks sharply advanced and hest
fancy In buying Of bulk commodities
engendered pending Developments. But
most Of the weeks business had been trans
acted before publication of the note and
all accounts agree IN chronicling remarkable
activity, with wants rather than high prices
propelling buying while scarcity OF goods
insufficient productive capacity lack OF
labor, and shortage Of railway cars doomed
large as ever.
Distribution by retail dealers has been
animated by cold Weather over a wide area
and In consequence recorders for winter
goods expanded Industrial lines manifest
activity, but the shortage Of railway facili-
ties. made worse by cold weather. restricts
receipts as well as outbound shipment.
