CHICAGO, Jan. 27. ThTe'w an enorm ous trsde In whont today and heavy realis ing: by the leader of the lonas caused a break of over 2o ln the May delivery, and the rinse was weak and at a loss of 2o from yesterday's rloae. May rorn closed 4e lomer, with oata down vS-V Provi sions closed weak, the May products being from 1fr to 22Hc lower. Ixiwer cables and liberal receipts, espe cially In the aouthweat, caused s weak opening In wheat and local longs unloaded freelv. There waa a temporary rally shortly after the start, brouaht about by buvlnar bv the leading; lon and May sold IP to M'42r( after open1" H'ft'Sc to Stltc lower at SI'A'Jrflc. The support was only momentary, however, but when It was learned that the chief long Interest waa sell. In- through brokera there was a wild eramhle to secure profits, and the prtee broke sharply, the low point being reached at 7874o. Covering by shorts late in the day caused a slight rally, but the close was weak and 2c lower at 7!Va'79M.c. 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.

Commission houses and brok ers were also active buyers. Iatcr wheat Marted on its last downward course, the offerings became very illieral and a weak freltng developed, and May closed He lower at 64V, after selling between 44c and 45o. Ixical receipts were 74 cars. There was onlv a light trade In oats and the market sympathised with other grains closing weak. Commission houses and brokera were the best buyers, while local traders sold. May closed KJ'c lower at XM-4C, after selling between 350 and 36'.c. Incal receipts were 410 cars. Provisions ruled dull and easier, the lib eral receipts of hogs and lower prices at the yards contributing to the early weak ness, while welling by packers added to the decline. Commlsalon houses bought moder ately. The close was weak, with May pork 22MfC. lower at J16.67M,, May lard down, like at S!.50, while ribs were off 10c at $9.17 .

TVI2ARE COMMISSION COMPANY. 110-llt Hoard of Trade, Omaha, Neb Telephone ISIS. CHICAGO. Jan. 27. WHEAT There has been a break In wheat prices of from lc to 2c, on enormous liquidation of long wheat by the leading bull Interest; possibly this Interest sold as muck as 10.000.000 bu. Of course, there has also been selling by other long interests. The foreign news was weak; cables were off but slightly, but export de mand was flat. France denied the recent claims of front damage, and also the claims of large buying of American wheat. Now York said the edge was off the foreign buy ing. Argentine weather was favorable. Th3 official German crop figures showed large Increase In wheat and rye over last year. Clearances were only 248,000 bu. Primary receipts were 643,000 bu., against 488.00!) last year.

C ORN Market has been surprisingly lirm in view of the 2c breuk in wheat, the heavy selling of long corn by Comstotk and other holders, and the weakness of cash corn. The sample market Is 1ile lower and January has been weak In sym pathy with the cash, but the May and July have been firm. There were buying orders, which looked like they came from the Armour direction. Local receipts were larger than the estimate, 746 cars, but there was 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 cash sales were imi.tsw tin,, wnicn is good In view of the car situation. Contract stock increased 12S.0UO bu. OATS The deferred futures of oats have "been steady in sympathy with corn, but the Januarv and cash have been lower, car lots off ijitc. This is because of the car situation, which shows 110 improvement The buying has been led by those who have been the best sellers of late, standard stock onlv 490.000 bu., showing a decrease of 34.000 bu.: stock of No. 2 onlv 121.000 bu.

Yesterday's Im provement In speculative sentiment seemed to be maintained today, out the trading was at such a low ebb of activity that it Was futile to tty to meisure the significance of the changes. It Is clear thHt some of the professional traders sold stocks on Saturday and bought back yesterday when they found their fi-ars of nn outbreak of trouble over the Venezuelan situation had not been renllxed. Today's total sales of stocks were little changed from yester day. In a few cases there was buying of stocks on the strength of special develop ments, but this demand did not follow a rise In prices far and had very little sym pathetic effect on the general list. Confident predictions were made that the forthcoming report of Erie would show even better results. On the other hand, the Atchison December reports showed all but $7,011 of the Increase in gross earnings taken bv the enlarged expense account. The rise In American Smelting was based on assertions of very large current earnings and surplus accumulations. Louisville rose on the rumor that It would benefit in a largely Increased degree- hereafter from the earnings of the Nashville, Chattanooga A St. Ixnils. Amalgamated was bought on reports of the acquisition by the company of mines In Scandinavia snd on the rise of the price of copper n Ixindon. A number of low-priced railroad stocks were lifted. It has been argued that rrlces of dividend paving stocks are at a level where the Investment return Is less attrac 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. These are fair examples of the Influences Which were allowed to effect the market. Manhattan was under prtasure of realis ing bv those who had bought the stocks for the privilege of subscribing to the stocks, the right for which came off the utock today. The situation In the money and exchange markets was without appreciable change. Yesterdav'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 weariness with the attempt to get price up. The market closed dull and heavy. The bond market was more active and the movement, of prices irregular. Total sales, par value. $2,201,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Buying was active throughout the session. Bhorts cov ered heavily. New Orleans parties were enormous buyers in the afternoon. The Liverpool firmness, according to private cables, was largely due to active buying by Kgyptlan speculators and the covering of Kuropean shorts. Another stimulating fea ture was the large showing again made by exports, which for some days have been exceeding port receipts. Today the export clearances reached 46.274 bales, against 38.4M port receipts. The close was at a net advance 01 iwil points. xoiai sates 01 futures estimated at 300,000 bales. ST. LOCI8, Jan. 27.

The big bulk of the offerings, though, consisted of butcher stock, very few good cattle being on sale. The beef steer market was very slow In opening and buyers started out bidding a big dime lower, and in a good many cases 10615c 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, hud to take the morning prices. The cow market was fully as had as the trade on steers, and the decline could safely be put at 106 15c on the great majority of the cattle. Something that just suited the buyers, perhaps, did not sell over a dime lower, but as the big 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 stackers and feeders on sale, but the demand was suffi cient to hold the better grades at Just about steady prices.

Buyers were out early and trading was active from start to ftnlBh. everything belna sold in good season. Mexican yearlings from the same feed lot that brought 85.20 last week sold today for 85.35. There were no very choice lambs on sale, but western ewee sold up to 84.10. When it came to the half fat stuff the market did not seem to be as brisk, and In fact waa weak to a dime lower. As has been previously stated, buvers always pound the half-fat stuff whenever there Is a good run of the better grades. Quite a few feeders arrived today, and as the demand was in gooo shape fully steady prices were paid for anything at all desirable On a good many of the half fat kinds feeders bid almost as much as killers. 1 Quotations: Choice western lambs, 15.60a G.75; fair to good lambs. 34.75i5.40; cholcs nutive lamos, o.,bii 6.1x1; choice yearlings. 14.905.15; fair to good yearlings, 84.25(0:4. 75; choice wethers, 14 &WIG.00; fair to good, 14.00 74.&0; choice ewes, $4.00(84. 2o; fall 10 good, $3.2f54.00; feeder lambs, 83.00ti4.00; feeder yearlings, $3.503.65; feeder wethers. 83.009 3.25; feeder ewes, $1.5002.25.
