GRAIN AND PRODUCE
Wheat Market is Dull, but
Trade in Cash Corn and
Oats is Good.
DEMAND, HOWEVER, ACTIVE

Omaha, January H. 1917.
The trade In cash corn and oats was
fairly active today, but the cash wheat
market was rather dull. both on account Of
the slight decline in prices and also be-
cause of the extremely light receipts Of this
cereal. The demand however, was SUM-
GENTLY active TO take care Of the offerings
at the prevailing prices and at noon No
hard wheat was selling around Sl92dl.2h
and the No. . was quoted at Sl.S9qL9l.
with the bulk going at 1873. There did
not seem to be very good inquiry Tor
durum wheat on the poorer grades Of hard
winter. and the only sales other than the
Nos. and hard were car OF No.
mixed at $l.s9 and car OF No. mixed
at si.7s.
The corn and oats markets made rather
good advances. corn being quoted from Nc
to Nc higher and oats W higher. Yellow
and white corn Of the commercial grades
sold at 93@93Ac. while the mixed corn Of
the same grade sold generally at s3c.
The sales Of oats were extremely light.
No. white selling at SAKE and the sample
grade at 53hc.
Rye was strong at 1@2c higher and the
barley market was Arm, with quotations
practically unchanged.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Early Setback In Wheat Is Followed by
Rally and Moderate Advance.

Chicago, Jan. 17.--Whoesale destruction
Of merchant ships failed to exercise per.
market today. In the end prices, although
nervous. were at the same as yesterdays
finish to Nc off with May at lSIS @
advanced ic to Nc net and oats gained 4 E
to %9hc. In provisions the outcome varied
from Be decline to a rise OF 81 NC
Notwithstanding that heretofore any big
success for the Germans on the Atlantic has
had a decided besrish effect on wheat. trad
ers today showed notable disposition to
discriminate. AZ first, owing 10 the an,
lost the market underwent moderate sag,
but soon the view became general That
paralysis Of commerce In the South Atlantic
would increase the necessity of the entente
countries to draw supplies from the United
states. ON this account prices rose to well
above yesterdays finish. Information. how
lost were In the North Atlantic service, led
afterward to a material setback, though not
OF lasting sort.
Some leaders on the bull side of the wheat
market took the position squarely that SO
far as the ultimate effect on prices was con
cerned no real difference could arise whether
stomach. other authorities, though, seemed
more disposed to consider the possibility OF
new German attacks In the North Atlantic
and of the likelihood that clearances from
United States ports might at lease tempo
rarily be brought to standstill. On the
other hand, assertions were current that do
nestle farm reserves, especially In Kansas
would be exhausted before the coming OF the
1917 crop and this view appeared to be
dominating the market as the day came &c
a close.
Export demand made friends for corn
The market showed Independent strength
throughout the day, regardless Of transient
downturns In wheat. Oats reflected the &C
ton Of corn. Rural offerings were reported
small
Pork advanced to the highest price sine,

Other provisions also averaged higher, thu
