aWHEAT,S AVERAGE { SLIGHTLY LOWER.

CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-wheat aver aged . little lower in price today, with weakness of foreign exchange rates having some depressing eff feet notwithstanding that sterling subsequently, rallied. Wheat closed vance, May, $l.07M 01.o7M and July, .yti.e6h. Corn hnished Y to Ac high < eris oats unchanged to Hc off. and provisions .vafying from 16c decline | to 7c gain. There was little molina tion to buy wheat with tho domestic ag90 bushels and with export and do- nestle trade both slow.
 It was pointed out that the amount Of. wheat cleared from the United States last week was only enough to keep one elevator working one hour. FLrthermore, according to a promi- nAnt miller, 75 per cent, of the flour k5 per cent for the remainder of the season. Under such, circumstances, today,s downturn in foreign exchange counted as a bearish influence de- spite the act that export business of late has been nearly negligible. st Strength in the corn market was more or less responsible for slight showed during the last part of the day. Besides, some attention, was eivAn to primary receipts of wheat which are only about one-third as large n year ago. sN a*:. -.
 Opinions were expressed in some quarters that hereafter the small receipts will be reflected by decreas- ing stocks. Late gossip was current also that . little United States wheat had been taken for export. and that European buying of Canadian wheat yesterday had been under estimated. < Decided falling off in the volume of corn receipts here gave an upwara tendency to the corn market throlEhout the day. Oats were up- held by corn.
 Provisions were, weak in sympathy with the hog market.

 King George and his queen, are settling down here in such a way as to give the impression<that they ex- pcct to remain permanently. The scene upon their arrival at the sta . tion in Bucharest was most touching. Queen Elizabeth as a Princess of Ru- mania was a great favorite with the public.
