Besides, Liverpool reports told of prospective liberal wheat shipments from Argentina this week. Corn prices developed strength as a result largely of corn export business and of word both from Kansas City and Omaha indi- vating that the movement of corn from first hands is about over. Wheat closed unsettled, at the same as yesterday's finish to 1-2 lower, corn 1-2c to 7-8¢ up, oats varying from 1-8c decline to 1-2c advance, and provisions at 5c set- back to a rise of 10c. As against the bearish influence today of predicted rains throughout much of the domestic winter crop ~ belt, wheat traders had to contend with the fact that the world’s avail- able supply showed 3,700,000 bushels decrease compared with 2,100,000 bushels increase a year ago, and that ‘= March delivery of wheat here is at + & premium over May. : =. pointed out that European continen- It was also tal buyers were reported as inter- ested in Canadain wheat for quick shipment. S Fresh advices today from Chicago crop experts touring in winter wheat territory were to the effect that be- tween Hastings, Lincoln and Omaha, Neb., fallow ground fields are fair to good, with about the average amount of winter kiBing. Other fields are very poor to fair, and show heavy winter killing in some .Places. The plants that are alive _are__weak, and with unfavorable r conditions would be unable to survive.
