EUROPE CAUSE
SHARP DECLINE

Chicago, Jan 27.-Unsettled POI
litcal and economic conditions in
Europe led to sharp declines In
the wheat market today. Bearish
crop gossip tended further to de-
press values. Support was lack
ing. Initial quotations. which var
led from unchanged figures to INC
lower. with March $1.62k to $1.63
and May $1.521s to $1.53h. were
followed by = decided setback all
around.
There was considerable selling on
an estimate that the four principal
exporting countries would have a
carry-over Of 170,000,000 bushels
into the new crop, but one Of the
largest firms here regarded this es-
innate as bullish and the market
rallied sharply. Prices closed firm,
We to 1kc net higher, with March
1.64h to 1.6x4, and May LEA to
1.54h.
Later the market recovered with
wheat and closed nervous, Nc net
lower to &c advance with May SIC
to 67hc.
New low records for the season
were reached by corn and oats. Lib
eral receipts Of corn continued.
After opening Nc to &c down, in
GLIDING May at 66Ac to SIC. the
corn market underwent a further
sag.
Oats fell with other cereals,
starting unchanged to 1sc of, May
42Xc, and then suffering q general
decline.
Provisions weakened as a result
CT the downward tendency Of hogs
and grain.
