CHICAGO, Jan. '2.-Wheat prices aver
aged higher during the greater part OF
dull market today. but increased selling
took the edge off the market near the close.
The early feature was the buying Of July
wheat by several prominent commission
houses, The idea was that the new crop
month was at sufficiently low levels to at
tract investment. The general ran of news.
however, was not encouraged, and when the
Cn.ted states visible supply figures showed
an increase OF $4,000 bushels for the week
pressure developed. The market showed
surprising steadiness nevertheless, and IN
sympathy with the strength in securities.
The primary movement Of wheat to all mar
kets continues very light. The total number
Of cars at primary points aggregated bat
3S9, compared with 2,045 year agfo. The
seab0ard reported export sales OF 100, 000 TO
200, OUU bushels of wheat.
Wheat closed 12c lower to 1Sc higher;
March. S1.0712; July, $l0G3s; September,
$l.0J%..
Corn held within narrow range and
averaged steady 10 easy. Trade in this
grain slack. The cash demand was fair
and the premiums firm, but this was due
more TO the light offering than the demand.
Commission house interest was in allegiance,
waiting leadership. Country offerings of
corn were light ard, while the weather con-
ditious were somewhat improved, little
change In the receipts was expected the
next few DAYS.

operated on both sides Of the market. Cash
oats in good demand al steady levels.
The oats visible for the week showed an in
crease Of 7GJ 900 bushels. The Canadian

crease of IS 900 bushels instead OF a report
ed decrease OF $4,000 bushels given out
