Grain Market

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January Fresh ad-
vances in grain values prevailed early
today from persistent strength Of the
Liverpool wheat market. Possibilities
OF cold wave in domestic Winter
wheat territory Southwest served also
as a stimulus to buyers
Opening 3s34 higher, Chicago wheat
futures continued upgrade. Corn
started at 1s-3s advance and subse-
quently rose further.
Friends of higher prices contended
European traders were giving marked
recognition to the fact that without the
United States surplus the world wheat
supply and demand situation was a
strong rather than weak one. In
addition, the phenomenally small move
ment OF domestic wheat was asserted
to afford conclusive evidence that wheat
in this country was not available either
to foreign or home markets at prevail
ing prices. Attention was also given
to word that Brazil's ban on -four i'm
ports would soon expire, indicating like
lihood the United States could expect
renewal Of good flour market in
Brazil
More than a cent a bushel advance
for wheat was soon attained. Among
the incentives were statements by a
trade authority that indications pointed
to increased world shipments the ensu-
ing seven months and that importing
countries had used their native wheat
to an unusual extent of late. A Liver
pool cable said the market there con-
tinued to advance, with no pressure to
sell and a good general demand. Corn
and oats moved up with wheat.
Provisions were responsive TO hog

Ordln Near Lowest frbceS.
Domestic grain markets closed the
year 1882 at record Oh near record low
levels. The relatively large supplies are
moving slowly into trade and consum-
ing channels. Stocks of wheat were
well below the record supply on hand a
year ago, but slow domestic demand
and the lack of an export outlet as the
result Of depressed foreign currencies
and trade barriers forced prices to the
lowest point in the history of local
rnsrketS.
Feed grain markets weakened during
the last half OF 1882 under the infiu-
ence of prospective larger rupplies, the
decline in wheat and a limited market
demand as a result of low live stock
prices and unsatisfactory returns from
dairy and poultry products. Corn prices
on December % dropped TO within ~

Poultry Markets Weak in 1882.
Produce in Light Demand.

Probably the outstanding feature of
1882 in fruit and vegetables markets
was the apparently reduced buying
power and the general lack of demand
for most products except where there
was temporary shortage Prices to
growers we're low for nearly all products.
Rail shipments were considerably light
er than the year before, but movement
by motor truck increased in some
districts.
Toward the end of the year, potatoes
approached more closely TO the level OF
late 1891. Summer and Fall cabbage
crops ranged generally lower than a
year ago Apple values were fair
early in 1882. but generally below the
1871 level most of this Year
