|WHEAT GOES UP: CORN PRICES DROP

CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-wheat scored an advance today whereas corn was lower, buying on the part of the northwestern interests, together with reports that European purchasing of some time, had much to do with lift- ing wheAt. The market for wheat clos0 unsettled, 1-4c to 3.lc net higher, May $1.0S 5-S to $1.0s a-4 and July $1.06 7-S. In corn there- was 1-8c to 3-Sc setback, with oats at i-scs off to 1-4c up and provisions
 It was estimated that at least 100000 bushels of Canadian wheat had been bought since Saturday for shipment to Europe, and this circum- stance was emphasized in advance in wheat quotations in Liverpool and by the fact that temporarily sterling. francs and lire all showed an up- turn. Bullish sentiment as to wheat was further stimulated by general scantinees of domestic receipts and by New York stock market strength, as we'll as by decrease of the wheat total in the United States visible supply statement.
 % Special significance in connection with dwindling Of wheat arrivals at primary markets in this country was attached to messages from Kansas City saying that receipts there were Inadequate and that for about the first time this season the stock in store was being drawn upon. It was also noted that the movement of had fallen off as compared with the recent volume. ~ Profit taking sales and prospects of enlarged rural offerings affected the corn market. Weather conditions were favorable to more liberal ship ments from the country and the vis- ible supply showed a substantial gain. Oats were upheld by reports of good demand from the east.
 Higher quotations on hogs gave firmness to provisions.
