CHICAGO. Jan. '17.--Persistent export
demand led to-day to material advance
in value of wheat Prices closed strong
at "a 3hc. net higher. with March
AZ S1.76I1.76A and May at sf.G9K a
l.cois. Corn gained a n 1c.. and oats a
shade to l4c. In provisions the outcome
varied from 10c decline to Coo advance.
Wheat prices had an upward slant
throughout the day with but few brief
exceptions. Germany and Italy were
said to be purchasing. and Germany was
credited with having bought 1000 600
bushels on Saturday. but knowledge OF
the amount OF business done to-day was
withheld.
An unusual feature was European
bidding for wheat shipments as far
ahead as April. Bullish sentiment was
encouraged also by return of the emer-
gency tariff bin to the Senate. and
by denial OF gossip that 100000
bushels Of wheat had been omitted from
the United States visible supply state
ment. Crop damage advices from Aus
tralia attracted come notice also, de-
spite assertions that the damage was
reported n month ago
Provisions as rule were higher. lard
stocks showing a smaller Increase than
expected and arrivals of hogs being less
numerous than were looked for.

CLEARANCES.
NO NEW DEMANDS
IN COTTON MARKET
Shows Heaviness During Most
Of Session and Reflects
Weaker Position.

The cotton market showed heaviness
during much OF Yesterdays session and
reflected a weaker technical position and
lack OF new demand. Support was so
scattered that II had little influence on
values until late. when offerings were
withdrawn suddenly and shorts became
so uneasy that the list recovered all of
its early loss and crossed Saturdays
final level with n gain OF approximately
20 points. A good deal of interest was
centred on the action of the spot option,
January. which despite talk of heavy ship
ments headed here for delivery on con-
tract, ruled steady and little changed
from Saturdays final. Certificated stock
is about $4,000 bales. Arrivals at this port
totalled 1858 bales and. according to
private wires, 1900 bales more were
coming from New Orleans. Many on the
floor do not believe that the present
certificated stock covers the outstanding
short interest in the January option.
The market was depressed early on
selling for the South and local account,
promoted by poor cables and the un-
favorable turn in the textile labor situa-
ton.
Prices were off about Is to 80 points
net at one time. The opening was feat
ureless and quiet, the active list being
up to points and January off 15.
Liverpool and trade interests were
buyers early in the session and pre-
vented the market from slipping off. but
pressure increased gradually and before
the end of the first hour the market was
about . to 20 points net lower Business
was not broad. outside speculative in
terest being particularly limited.
There was little change as the session
progressed. Up to the middle of the
fourth hour the market ruled barely
steady and showed small loss, but
late in the day buying by spot houses
and shorts appeared and caused the
market to regain all of its loss. Bulls
mentioned the betterment in foreign en-
change, steadiness Of stocks. the more
active Worth street cotton goods trade,
reports a better demand for low grades
in the South and firmness of January
relative to the upturn. Scattered pro-
fessional pressure at the top prices re-
suled in reactions of q few points. The
market closed at to 13 points net
higher. Local spot finished zip 10
points at 1905 cents.

WHITTIER is HEARD AGAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 17.-Wreck emergen-
cies which require immediate action are
hampered by rules of the national agree
ments between the railroads and the
employees, it was declared in testimony
before the United States Railroad Labor
Board to-day. e. T. Whittier. continuing
his testimony in behalf of the roads, de-
clared that ANY rule which interferes
with or delays the most efficient and ex-
pedltious manner of clearing wreck Is
unjustifiable.
The rule attacked is one which re-
quires a machinist and helper to accom-
pany the wrecking crew when the engine
Is disabled
"The railroads object to this rule.
Mr.. Whittier explained. because a wreck
is an emergency matter. It requires
the immediate despatching OF a crew
often to care for injured passengers and
Employees. or TO clear the main line for
traffic or TO prevent destruction of prop
erty by fire
"Action must not be delayed waiting
to secure machinists that may or may
not be needed. All members Of the force
ought to perform work that win best
iiIttL lilti ciutlE EtHCg. ~ iilitullilSt Oil q
wreck force must do machinist's work OF
any other crafts work, or vice versa
Prior to Federal control it was not nee.
essary to send machinists on the wreck
train. When needed they were sent OF
any convenient train"
Much of Mr.. Writers testimony re-
ferred to classifications of work, by
which he attempted to show that the
classification rules work injustice to the
roads. Adjustment board decision:
which changed mems titles, thereby Civ.
ing them increased pay without chang
ing their duties, met with objections
from the roads.
''These decisions are particularly OBJ
jectionabe to the railroads" Mr.
Whittier said. "They cause mechanics
rates to be paid for work which was gen
orally recognized as helpers work prior
to Federal control
The craft rules were declared unjust
and inefficient, in Mr.. Writers testi
mony, because. he declared. they dupli
cate effort.
Mr.. Whittier will continue his testimony
for the railroads at to-morrows ses
sion.
