MoWhortor : Very Itttlo news of uuy kind was ulloat today and that llttlo of Inconsequential character. Itooni traders were short and covered us they ilttl last week , prior to Christmas. They tuko this Hldu be- ciiuso they liuxo recently bail bettor luck In shortlnx the market , though most of thorn feel friendly to wheat and would bo gtad to bull It If there was an outside trade broad enough to unload on. It is not believed that wheat will drop much lower and anything calculated to infuse llfo Into ibo market would be ca.orly bailed by the trado. Unless conditions change it Is proUahlo thut'tho vliout brought In tod.ty will bo resold next weok. The corn mar ket has looked better toauy than at unv time previous for weeks. The dilllculty of getting corn out of Chicago , onMng to thosoiiiolty or cars on thu eastern roads , has enabled shippers at Mississippi river points to get 2le n.oro on through ship ments to tlio soahoaid than Chicago houses cuii'puy. This has diverted shipments Unit would have come here ordinarily , and would doubtless btlll further opera o against Chicago receivers If the embargo should lust long. The Kansas grain wlilu grudos so well has stopped coming ho.'o anI Is going direct to the seaboard. This has elfcct- od the grading Insto ul of iniprov.ng It as was expected. Contract iccelptM are proportion ally smaller than several weeks ago. The ma- teruu reduction In prices has greatly stimu lated the export trade , clearances reported to day havlm exceeded800,000bushels. Ithusitlso diminished other deliveries ut country Mu ttons In thu com hiirp us states , turiiiers being unwilling to accept present prices und lindlug It moro profitable to usu It In feeding stock , The situation would seem to us to justify the expectation of better prices and customers uro advised to buy May for the present. It costs about 43io to carry corn Into May , and ut 4lio that option Is not high under present condi tions. There Is a very uansldor.iblo shortugo In May oats unu that month I * Bollln1 , ' within iio of cash htulf. The shipping and consump- tlvo demand continues good. Thu visible supply Is urowing smullor und II would seem good policy to buy Muy oats for the present. Yesterday s doellno In provisions seems to have rc.Miltod from the throwing overboard of a largo Unu hold by u prominent looal operator , Tim trade was too narrow to absorb the offerings without materially un settling values. Today the run of IIUKS was considerably above the estimate , unit values at the yards wcal < In coiwo.upneo , but after u brief snow of weakness at the outbot pro visions have hardened nil day and closed Quito blrong , notwithstanding the weak ipcculattvo undertone. Wo bollovo they are u good purchase on thu breaks and will pay to hold lor u substantial advance.
