GRAIN MARKET

by Dispatch A. +. W1Te)
CHICAGO, Ills, Jan. 18.-Persistent
buying that swallowed up all surplus
speculative offerings gave a lift to
wheat values at the last today, de-
spite earlier declines. A substantial
decrease of the United States visible
supply of wheat was a stimulating
factor, and so too was prospective
cold weather likely to catch part Of
the winter wheat crop without pro-
lection Closing prices on wheat
were firm, 1 cent to 11a cent net
higher, May 174% to 174% and July
1915 to 151%. Corn finished at as
to B cents advance, oats 7s cent off
to 4 cent up and provisions showing
22 to 80 cents gain.
At first the chief Influence in the
wheat market was an estimate from
the United States department of agri-
culture that the world crop of wheat
for the 1925-26 season will total four
billion bushels as compared with 81
O91, 900, 900 bushels last year. Price
downturns which resulted from this
estimate were given further impetus
by larger world shipments last week
and by an increase of wheat and

it was pointed out that considerable

ture that buying began to broaden
and then upturns in the market set
in.
Unfavorable weather conditions in
the corn area made the corn market
firm from the outset. Oats swayed
with wheat, houses with eastern con-
nections buying oats on declines.

STOCK PRICES
MAKE RECOVERY
FROM LOW PRICE

Stock prices made irregular recov-
cry from recent weakness in today S
market Closing quotations disclosed
long list of net gains ranging from
fractions to points in the active is
sues. The volume of trading was the
lightest of any full session this year,
total sales falling below 100000
shares.
The rally like the reaction which
preceded it, was not associated with
any new developments. 1t received
it's impetus from short covering op-
erations, presumably based on the
theory that last weeks sharp decline
had temporarily corrected the weak
ened technical position OF the mar
ket. Commission houses reported
that trading was largely of profess
sional nature, public buying being
restricted by the uncertainty over
the forthcoming steel meetings and
the trend of spring business.
United States Steel common rallied
points to 1854 and then lost half
of it's gain, some of the buying being
influenced by unconfirned reports
that directors would raise the extra
dividend from so to rs cents at the
meeting next week.
Sloss Sheffield jumped five points
to 125 and Republic closed q point

vived runors of an early lease Of

id, and net gains of to points
were recorded by air reduction,
American Brake Shoe and Foundry,

The retirement of short contracts
was particularly noticeable in the
motor group. Pierce Arrow rallied
over points to 1O6% and then eased
to 106, General Motors closed 3 points
