Chicago. Jan. 15-Foreign buying has
had bullish effect on the wheat market
this week. and SO. too, has talk of larger
domestic flour trade. Compared with a
week ago, wheat this morning showed sc
to oa4e advance. whereas corn was NC to
15e off, and oats down sc to Sc.
In provisions, the net changes varied
from 40c decline to &c gain. European pur-
chasing of wheat went hand in hand with
notable iise in sterling exchange win
famine reports from India and with asser-
tons that the United States emergency
tariff bill would shortly be returned TO
the senate. Moreover. big flour mills at
Minneapolis were represented as running at
l6O per gent capacity as against 40 per cent
month ago Wheat for May delivery ros G
to the highest price yet this season. Later,
however, announcement that the Argen-
tine exportable surplus was estimated at
l2OOOO00O bushels tended somewhat TO
favor the bears. Export business in the
United States appeared to slacken also.
Corn and cats were weighted down by
liberal receipts. Export demand for corn
tho counted as something of an offset.
Weakness in tn. hog market made pro-
visions average lower.
