SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 | MARKET NEWS Wire Markets By Associated Press WHEAT TAKES LOWER PLANE Downward Slant Is Noticed | in Trading Today Chicago, Jan. 31.—Wheat took carly downward swing today with numerous traders acting on an opin- ion that for at least the time being ‘the market had discounted factors tending to lift values. A decline in Liverpool quotations gave a further advantage to sellers here, and so, too, did expectation of heavy world ‘dhipments. On the setbacks, how ever, buyers become more aggress- ive, and succeeded in rallying the market to near yesterday's latest figures. The opening, which ranged from three-fourt 4 cents low- er, with May to $2.03 and July $1.69% to $1. was followed by a moderate additional decline and then by a rapid change in which up- turns predominated. Subsequently the market became somewhat weaker, influenced by ap- parent slowness of export demand. Wheat closed unsettled 3-4 to 1 3-8c net lower, May $2.02 to 3-4. July $1.70 5-8 to 3-4.
