SETBACK IN WHEAT
. ON EXPORT REPORT
Argentina and Australia Are
Increasing Shipments.
Corn Prices Firm.
BY the Associa ted Press.

CHICAGO, January 30.-Reports of
greatly enlarged shipments of wheat
from Australia and Argentina led to
an early setback in wheat prices to-
day. Australian shipment this week
were figured as nearly double those
of the week before. Heavy profit
taking sales here resulted, and spec
ulative offerings also broadened out
with buyers much less aggressive than
has been the rule Of late. The opening,
which ranged from 70 decline to Il
advance. May 2.03A to 2.04 and
July, 1.7oh to 1.70%, was followed by
a general decline in which May drop
ped TO 2.029s, but later rallied.
Corn and oats were relatively firm
and at times rose we'll above Vester-
days finish. This was attributed
partly to transfer of considerable
speculative Buying from wheat to
feed grain, owing to less severe
margin requirements than in wheat.
After opening at Is decline to Is ad-
vance, May 1854 to 1864, corn I'M
derwent moderate sag all around
and then scored gains.
Oats started at Il off to II up. May
SO to 63&s. Later the market eased
down somewhat and then made a
fractional advance.
Provisions were responsive to the
upward tendency of corn values and
of hogs.

companies.
The cooperative has asked the four
. old-line grain companies which

give an option on their properties for
one year, allowing the grain market
ing company to purchase the prop
critics outright within that time.

pany and the vendors expires on July
% and a statement issued at the
close of the meeting said the cooper
atiVe Is unable to comply with the
contract terms, which called for a
$4,OOO,O0o payment at that time.
The vendor companies were in
formed that the option requested did
not contemplate joint operation in
handling grain, but merely the right
to purchase during the time and the
basis for so doing. Gray Silver, pres
Ident of the cooperative, indicated
that he had received verbal approval
Of the plan from officers of the vendor
companies whose properties are to be
returned to them.
At the meeting action releasing the
vendors from their leases was ap-
proved and a motion was passed to
make an attempt to work out plan
for the cooperative marketing of
grain this season. No tentative plans
for such action were announced.
The statement said the company's
operating department has handled
about 200, 100000 bushels of grain.
that the cooperative marketing plan
has been proved practical, and thar
the only thing yet to be done to
make the Undertaking complete IS to
secure the needed capital
which must be gotten from the farm
ers themselves.
3S1 Elevators Hold Stock.

too short a time 10 get an enterprise
OF such magnitude to the farmer IL
such manner that he could under
stand and appreciate il.
The report said 361 country ele-
vators have become stockholders,
grain has been handled directly or
indirectly from every wheat pool in
the United States, except Indiana,
and the company now has an oppor-
tunity to handle more than 100000
