GAIN IN WHEAT PRICE
FAILS TO HOLD WELL
Offerings Become Larger OH Early
Bulge Today and Values Have
Reaction-Corn Easy.
BIZ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 2S.-Exhaustion
of supplies at Liverpool and unex-
pected higher quotations for future
deliveries there led 20 an early upturn
in Chicago wheat today. Offerings
enlarged on the bulge, however, and
gains failed to hold well. Starting
unchanged to 15c 70 SIC advance,
wheat hardened and then reacted
somewhat. Corn and oats were easy,
corn opening at sc off to nc up and
later showed a general sag. Pro-
visions tended upgrade.
Wheat traders were given a jolt to-
day by announcement that no spot
quotations of wheat at Liverpool
could be had. The explanation re-
ceived was unprecedented, that
Liverpool stocks of wheat had been
completely exhausted for the time
being. A rush to the buying side
here ensued, but the conditions at
= Liverpool were in general regarded
as merely transient, breadstuff sup
plies on ocean passage being of lib
eral volume
Big SURPRISES OF wheat in Ar
gentina and Australia, as well as
Canada, served also to make many
would he speculative purchasers
cautious. On the other hand, ship
ments from the southern hemisphere
this week were reported as only
1860, 900 bushels, compared with S.
$4,000 bushels last week. Export
demand for North American wheat
today was better.
