fiEMAND, H0WEVEE, ACTIVE
Omaha, January 17, 1117,
The trade in cash corn and oata waa
fairly - active todsy, but the cash wheat
market waa rather dull, both on account ot
the alight decline In prices and also be
cause of the extremely light recelpta of thla
cereal. The demand, however, waa auffl
rlently active to take care of the offerlngo
at the prevailing prlcea and at noon No. 1
hard wheat waa aelllng around 11.1101. Hit
and the No. I waa quoted at I1.II01.I1,
with the bulk going at 11.11. There did
not seem to bo a very good Inquiry for
durum wheat on the poorer gradee of hard
winter, and the only aalaa other than the
2 and 2 hard were a car or ivo. s
mixed at 11.11 and a car of No. 4 mixed
at 11.71.
The corn and oata marketa made rather
good advance, corn being quoted from 14 c
to a higher and oata c higher. Tellow
and white corn of the commercial gradea
.old at !202t4e. while the mixed corn of
the same grade eold generally at ozc.
The aaloa of oats were extremely light.
No. 1 white selling at 64 itc and tha sample
grade at tttto.
Rya was atrong at 102c higher and the
barley market . waa firm, with quotations
practically unchanged.

Chtcairo, Jan. '17. Wholesale detraction
of pie re ban l ahlpfi failed to exerctue a pr-mini-ntly
ileprewilnti Influence on the wh-t
market today. In the end prlcea, although

and July at iM 1.50V Corn

from 6c decline to a rlae of 27jR
Notwlthntandlny that heretofore any bis
ucceax. for the (.ermana on the Atlantic.- has
had a decided bearinh effort on wheat, trad
em today ehowpd a notable dlapovltton to
discriminate. At flrat. owing to the an
nouncement that many veaaeli had been
lout, tho, market underwent a moderate nag.
but soon I he view became general that
paralyala of commerce in the South Atlantic
would increane the neccaalty of the entente
com. tr lea to draw supplies from the United
ritatea. On thta account prlcea rose to well
above yeaterday'a finish. Information, how
ever, that some of the veasela given up for
lout were In the North Atlantic service, led
afterward to a material setback, though not
of laetlng sort.
Home leaders on the ball aide of the wheat
market took the -position squarely that ao
far aa the ultimate effect on prlcea was con
cerned no real difference could arise whether
wheat went Into the aea or Into the human
stomach. Other authorities, though, seemed
more disposed to consider the possibility of
new Oerman attacks In the North Atlantic
and of the likelihood that clearances from
United States ports might at lease tempo
rarily he brought to a standstill. On the
other hand, assertion were current that do
mestic farm reserves, especially In Kansas,
would be exhausted before the coming of the
lfl 17 croo. and this view aDDeared to be
dominating tho market aa the day came to
a close.
Kxport demand made friends for corn.
The market showed Independent strength
throughout the 'day, regardless of transient
downturns In wheat. Oats reflected the ac
tion of corn. Rural offerings were reported
smalt.

USD 130.27 H a barrel. January delivery.
Other provisions also averaged higher, the
result largely of a rise In values at Liver
pool and In the hog market here.

New Tork, Jan. 17. New low records for
Russian and Italian exchange, which regis
tered the greatest discounts since, the out
break of the war, the reported activities
of the Oerman raiders In South American
waters, causing marine insurance to mount
to prohibitive rates, and the conservative
tone of steel trade authorities, were among
the Influences which made for restraint in
today's irregular market.
The acute weakness of remittances to
Petrograd and Rome rubles being quoted
at 29.08 and I Ires at 9.98. was attributed
by dealer. In foreign eichange to the In
ability or refusal of those countries to meet
the requirements of our bankers. The re
tent sharp decline In Russian government
bonds on the curb also counted for the de
preciation of the ruble.
Uncertain price changes were scored at
the opening of tho market, the only note
worthy a teration neing in einienem oiwoi,
which rose 6 points to 476. but reacted to
440 in the final hours. i ne reversal was
accompanied by reports affecting the com
