CHICAGO, January 21.-Wheat prices
developed moderate strength today, chief
ly as a result of seaboard buying In
was regarded by some traders as having
discounted for the present all bearish
factors. There was disposition also to
construe Argentine news as bullish on
the ground that eventual enactment of
an export tax on wheat was indicated.
Opening prices, which varied from un-
changed figures to l cent lower. with
March 16S to 1.6SA and May 1891. to
1907, were followed by upturns all
around to well above yesterdays finish.
Corn sympathized with the strength
of wheat. After opening quarter off to
* higher. including May at 6sA to
6SA, the market scored slight general
gain.
Oats were dull and inclined to lag
behind other cereals. starting h to u
down, May 457s to 45A. but later re-
covering.
Lower quotations on hogs tended to
depress provisions
Word that Portugal was in the
market for a large amount of wheat
was more thar offset later by an
nouncement that six months credit
was desired. Seaboard offers to re-
sell also were noted. and prices under
went a sharp setback. The close
was heavy. 3A to 81 net lower,
with March, 1.64 Y to 1.65 and May.
1.54A to 1.55.
Corn and oats later sagged with
wheat, oats touching the lowest prices
vet this season. Corn closed steady
unchanged to Il lower, with May. 67h
to 67B.
