GRAINS TOUCH LOWER PRICES Uate Recovery Puts Quota- tions at Opening Prices but Demand Is Weak. CHICAGO, Jan. 28—Purchases here aginst sales at Winnipeg turned the wheat market upward today in the last half of the board of trade ses- sion. The close was firm, %c to lc net higher, with May 1.16% to 1.16% and July 1.11% to 1.11%. CHICAGO, Jan., 23.—Although buy- Ing on the part of houses with eastern and foreign connections made wheat prices average a little higher during tho early dealings today, new decline: sdon took place, The initial buying was apparently based on strength of European exchange and on a reduc: tion in Italian import duties on flour and other foodstuffs. Sustained de- mand, however, was lacking and heavy accumulations of wheat at pri- mary terminals had a bearish effect. The opening, which varied from un- changed figures to %c higher, with May 1.16% to 1.16% and July 1.11% and then 1 material setback all round. to 1.11%, was followed by slight gains A good rally which came im.tr war assisted by word of sur@ export dusl- ness at the seaboard and by news that the price difference between Ar- gentine wheat of Europe and No. 2 hard at ports on the Gulf of Mexico had been greatly narrowed. Corn and oats swayed with wheat. After opening unchanged to %o high- er 71% to.71%, the corn market re acted to well below yesterday's finish. In the later dealings, May held at @ discount under July and September. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterday's finish to 1% cents low- er, with May 71% to 71%.
