Wheat-Thc market showed pronounced
apols market cents higher. Offers were
limited, and there appeared to oe a fairly
active demand although the production
sradually reduced Many think that this
will eventually have bearing on the
whole wheat situation. and from stats
tical- point of view the -four situation is
believed TO be bearish. At the same time
mills continue to advance their prices and
are BILE to make some fairly good sales
The domestic trade still shows d prefer
ence to the hard wheat fours and recently
there has been noticeable improvement
in the export demand for first clears ami
for soft winter wheat straights There
has been some intinatlon that Canada
may have about % 100000 bushels of
wheat to sell in the United States Tho
news on the Canadian supply and attitude
was again conflicting, however and ap-
psrently If Canada does decide to sell
wheat here she viii want d price equal to
quotations now prevailing for the United
states product.
Corn-Prices were firm and higher ves
ierday. closing with net gains of 20 =
January position advanced about cents
which carried this month UP TO within
= 6 Of the closing price for the December t,si
position. Offers were small throughout
the session. and while sentiment was divd-
ed 1t was evident that the trade considers
the future Of the market entirely dependent
upon the volume of the receipts. Ad-
vices from the West were rather more en-
couraging on the situation. 1t was
said that large number OF empties have
been ordered into the grain belt, and as
country elevators were said to have large
amount OF corn on hand. it seemed prob
able that receipts may pick up next week
