COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL All Commodities Weaker in Price on Board of Trade, WHEAT SALES ARE ENORMOUSLY M{AW’ Values Rreak When Long's Leader Strives to Realize Heavy Hold- May Dellvery—Other 1 in Sympathy, CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—There ‘was an enorm. ous trade in wheat today and heavy realiz- ing by the leader of the longs caused a break of over 2 in, the May delivery, and the close was weak and at a loss of 2%c from yesterday's close. May corn closed Ke lower, with oats down 34@%c. Provi- slons closed weak, the May products being from 10c to e lower. Tower cables and liberal receipts, espe- clally In the southwest, caused n weak opening in wheat and local longs unloaded freely. There was a temporary rally shortly after the start, brought about by buying by the leading long. and May 1D to §1%@H2c, atter opening 4@k to K@ lower at 81%@1%c. The support was oniy momentary, however, but when it was learned thaf the chief fong interest was sell. Ing through brokers there was a wild rcramble to secure profits, and the price broke shargly. the low polrit being reached at 78%e ring by shorts late in the day caused a slight rally, but the close was weak and 2%e lower at 10@19%e. The news was generally bearish, with the falling off of the export demand the principal ‘in- fluence. The volume of business was some- thing enormous. it being reported that the leading bull disposed of anywhere from 10,000,000 to 16,000,000 bu., while eommis- #lon houses were also heavy sellers. The world’s visible showed a decrease of 525,000 bu., compared with a decrease the same time last year of 1,082,000 bu. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 248,000 bu.

Minneapolis and Duluth reported recelpts of 33 cars, which, with local receipts of 8 cars, made total receipts for the three points 429 cars, against 427 last week and 472 last year Corn was remarkably firm early, con- sldering the weakness in wheat. and it was Fumored that the same firm that unioaded the big line of wheat had taken on a large Jine of corn. Commission houses and brok- ers were also active buyers. Later wheat Started on Ita last downward course. the offerings became very ilberal and a weal Feeling devaloped, and May closed e lower at Bige, after selling between 4%c and %, Local receipts were 746 cars. There was only a llght trade in oats and the market sympathized with other grains, closing weak. Commission houses and brokers were the best buyers. while local traders sold. May closed 4@%c lower at %0, after selling between 5%c and 36%4c, Tocal recelpts were 410 cars. Provisions ruled dull and easfer, the 1ib- eral recelpts of hogs and lower prices at the yards contributing to the early weak- ness, while selling by packers added to the decline. Commission houses bought moder- ately. The close was weak, with May pogk 2940 lower at $16.67%, May'lard down 12tic @t $9.50, while ribs were off 10c at $9.17%.

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—WHEAT—There has been a break in wheat prices of from lc to 24¢, on enormous liquidation of long wheat by the leading bull Interest; possibly this | interest sold as much as 10,000,000 bu. Of course, there has also been selling by other long interests, The forelgn news was weak; cables were off but slightly, but export de mand was flat. France denied the rece claims of frost damage, and also the claim: of large buying of American wheat. New York said the edge was off the foreign buy. ing. Argentine weather was favorable. The official German crop figures showed large increase In wheat and rye over last year. Clearances were only 245,000 bu. Primary receipts were 643,000 bu., against 488,000 last year. Northwe: receipts were 334 cars, against 429 a year ago. Local receipts, % cars, with none contract. Estimates ‘for Wednesday, 3 cars. New York reports 10 loads taken for export. Contract stock, | 3,663,000 bu., decreased 238,000 bu. ‘\‘Inlhlé decreased only 52.000 bu., with a | large Increase east of the Rockles. Outside markets did not decline as much as ours. | CORN-—Market has been surprisingly firm in view of the 2jc break in wheat, the heavy welling of fong corn by Comatock | and other holders, and the weakness of | cash corn. The sample market is @1é | lower and January has been weak in sym- { pathy, with the caxh, but the May and July ave been firm. Thére were buying orders, | which looked 'like they came from the | Armour. direction. Local receipts were | larger than the estimate, 746 cars, but there S none contract. Estimates for tomor- { row, 305 cars. Primary receipts, 1,245,000 bu., against 474,000 a year ago. New York reports seven loads taken for export. Local | eash sales were 100000 bu, which is good in view of the car situation. Contract stock increased 125,000 bu. OATS8—The deferred futures of oats have |'been steady in sympathy with corn, but the January and cash have been lower, car lots off 1@lc. This is because of the car situation. which shows no improvement. The buying has been led by those who have been the best sellers of late. Standard | | stock only 490,000 bu., showing a decrease | of 34.000 bu.: stock of No. 2 only 121,000 bu. Recelpts today large, 410 cars, with 22 stand- | ard. Estimates for Wednesday, 150 cars. | Clearances, 20,00 bu. PROVISIONS-Have yielded a little, in- | fluenced by a drop of 5¢ in the hog market | and by the break In wheat. There has been selling of ribs and pork by stock yards in- terests. There has been selling of lard which was credited to Swift. There was a large demand for May pork. There were 81,000 hogs. Estimates for tomorrow, 35,000, Hogs in the west today, 800, against 72,5600 last week and 65,800 last year.

On the other hand, the Atchison December reports showed all but $7.011 of the increase in gross earning taken by the enlarged expense account The rise in American Smelting was based on assertions of very large current earnings and surplus accumulations.

Amalgamated was bought o reports of the acquizition by the compan of mines in Scandinavia and on the rise of the price of copper n London. A number of low-priced railroad stocks were lifted. It has been argued that prices of dividend paying stocks are at a level where the investment return is less attr: tive than for other uses of capital. Appar- ently the traders are led to conclude that stocks that pay no dividends this objection to higher prices may not apply.

Yesterday's decline in export buying of wheat as a _result of the higher price was a subject of comment and there was keen interest to learn whether today's reaction in wheat would lead to renewal of the ex- port demand. The character of the early advance in stocks was defined by the readi- ness of the traders to realize. The selling of the last hour was a proclamation of wearine with the attempt to get prices up.

The big bulk of the offerings, though, consisted of butcher stock, very few good cattle belng on sale. The beef steer market was very slow in gpening and buyers started out bldding a big dime lower, and in a good many cases 10@15¢ lower. Sellers, of course, were not prepared to take off that much in one lump and as a result it was some time before many cattle moved toward the scales. The market did not Improve, though, to any extent, and as a result sellers had to take the morning prices, The cow market was fully as bad as the trade on steers, and the deciine could safely be put at 10@i5c on the great majority of the cattle. Something that just suited the buyers, perhaps, did not seil over a dime | lower, 'but as the blg bulk of the cattle consisted of cows, packers had things very much their own ‘way. It was late in the day before anything like a clearance was made. The bull market was also slow, and while prices did not break as much as on cows and steers, the tendency was undoubtedly downward. Veal calves held very nearly steady. There were quite a few stockers and feeders on sale, but the demand was suffi- clent to hold the better grades at just about Steady prices. When it came to the com- moner kinds, and especially to the common light stuff, the market was very slow and weak. Representative sales BREF STEERS. Av. Pr 0 300 o2 1000 3% Av.
