WHEAT ADVANCES
ON EXPORT RUMOR
Report of Demand i'm Sight for
Coming Week Gives Dull
Market Boost.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-Local shorts, driven
last fifteen minutes Of to-day's wheat
market on the Chicago Board of Trade
and pulled prices back TO about where
weak market started from. Other
grains were unusually dull and pro-
visions were weak. Final prices were
3sc. lower to sc. higher in wheat; &c.
lower in corn: fractionally lower i'm
oats. and 10 to 80 points off in pro-
visions.
Wheat was in the doldrums through
out most OF the session. Lower prices
in Buenos Aires and Liverpool caused
selling at che start and. with support
lacking. the market sagged readily.
Transactions were not numerous or eX-
tensive and the decline checked on scat
tered buying at around siI0% for May.
The market rested there until near the
close, when IL was rumored that spring
wheat would be sought for Russian seed
on Monday. It was reported also that
France, northern Italy and Rumania
needed moisture. Those factors started
buying just as the early shorts were
about to take profits. and the pit ele-
ment suffered in consequence.
Corn and oats were extremely dull
and charges were inconsequential.
There was some local ceiling of corn.
Holders offered provisions when early
reports from the stockyards showed
lower prices for live hogs. Further Of
ferlngs were brought out by prospects OF
n big run next week. IL was estimated
that 10000 hogs would be received here
Monday, with 275.00o for all next week.

COTTON MARKET
DULL AND STEADY
Prices Little Changed-Trad-
ing Is Week End Evening
Up-ClOse Shows Gain.

Cotton futures prices changed little
in yesterdays dull and steady market
Of week end evening up. An advance
of 10 16 points not long after it's OPEN
ing was not fully maintained, the mar
ket being net unchanged to points
better than it was on Friday at the
final gong. Most support represented
covering by nervous shorts, due to the
Census Bureaus bullish consumption re-
port The report showed 511, 500 bales
consumed in December. in contrast to
526,610 in November and 295,292 in De-
cember, 1920
The report. considering that the Ma
tional Ginners Association had placed to-
tai consumption at only 414,000 bales
was distinctly bulish. 1t did much to
offset bearish weekly statistics and a
decrease in Fall River print cloth sales
to 10000 pieces Speculative feeling
came under the influence of the stock
markets continued strength.
Many bulls were disappointed over the
markets response to the bullish con-
sumption figures. 1t was evident, how
ever. that there was still enough weakly
held long cotton in the market to check
any advance. Buying power naturally
is restricted now by the political situa-
ton. but latest cables are somewhat
more reassuring. The dry goods trade,
like that of raw cotton, is simply await
ing new developments.
Bulls argue that dry goods inventories
are at low point, and jobbers are wait
ing only for raw cotton to steady itself
before beginning liberal buying opera
tions. They also state that mills are
known generally to need cotton and
must come into the market soon from ne
cessity.
The spot situation shows little change.
The local spot market was s points bet
ter yesterday at 1880 cents for middling.
No spot sales were recorded.

Spot Furnace Coke sitter.

The tin plate business has been en-
livened by orders from the container
makers, one recent order calling for
10000 tons. Tin plate is quoted at s4.75,
and the Standard Oil Company of New
Jerseys order for 100000 boxes of tin
plate. covering it's requirements for the
first nine months of 1929, represents an
outlay OF $3.50O.000. 1t is said, how
ever. that prices on that order were
shaded slightly below market quotations

size OF the order. IT is understood that
