Iona Commission Co. Grain Letter.
Furnished by Long Commission Co.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Wheat-The
wheat market is naturally nervous
after the drastic action OF the last
few weeks. Bears confidently press
the market whenever 1t is weak, but
the undertone is materially improved
and this Improvement Is accounted
for primarily by the fact that foreign
buyers are again in the market for
both wheat and flour. Incidentally.
the market has helped some wheat
today by the cold weather prevailing
over the west. but most of this was
discounted yesterday. The prospect.
however. for winter wheat, which ts
not we'll protected, Is not encoura8-
ing because the plant has not had a
good start and is likely to be sub
iected to uncommonly low tempera-
lures in the next two or three days.
Irrespective Of temporary infiu-
ences, the outlook is bullish. The
call on this country for supplies is
likely to increase month by month,
whether foreign countries have peace
or war.
Corn-Corn showed no 1ndepen-
dence of wheat. Although underlying
conditions are distinctly bull1sh, there
was long corn on tap on the strong
opening. The seaboard is in the mar
ket for cash corn at country and
terminal points, and the severe
weather In the west which is likely
to spread eastward, means heavy
feeding of high priced live stock
The trader who is patient enough to
wait for a good break and then buy
will find it most profitable.
Oats-Oats were bought by brok-
ers who usually act for export inter-
e.ts; they were sold by two or three
Of the big commission houses, cred
tied with holding the principal lines.
The market did not respond material
ly to the buying. but the undertone
was firm even when wheat was
weak. Clearances were large at 592,-
eco bushels, and the visible supply
already rapidly decreasing, will prob
ably disappear now at a record rate.
