The strength shown by the wheat mar ket at Chicago yesterday hail back of It the taking of at least 100.000 bushels of the haw winter variety by exporters at the seaboard. It was said after the closo that bids wero mado for additional tmounts of this special variety, not only by Baltimore and -New York, but by Bos ton as well. That tho bids were mauo for all rail and Immediate shipment, Halph I'endlcton, one. of tho leading ex porters of St. Louis, said that the bids received by him for hard winter wheat yesterday trom exporters wero the strong est In some weeks. That while they were at an export basis they permitted of no profit and that there were no sales In -onsequencc. The stock of hard winter wheat at Chi cago has been reduced to a minimum nd It Is in the hands of a small number or houses who are In a strong position and who will be ablo to namo the price tor It. In addition to the expott taking tif wheat, Minneapolis came to the iront with reported export sale of flour nnd Hi. Louts ndvlces were to the cftect that bids for flour from abroad were on a working basts. A message from Minne apolis told of Uie better conditions In (lour there and of the probability of lib tral sales for foreign shipment. The wheat market was a strong atfulr and dosed with advances of Utftto tor tha day. There was a wcait leellng at tuu tiait on increased supplies in tho pit, which was the result of an eaMer Liver pool market on Increased ctfcrlngs from Manitoba and the Argentine. Tho mar kets of thu northwest wero decidedly stronger than our own, with a good casn demand reported at Minneapolis and millers buyers of the futures there. While corn values advanced some from the lowest levels reached, there were Iosscb for the day of UtiHc The liqui dation by longs was on a liberal scale and much of the corn thrown Into the Pit was absorbed by shorts with profits. One of the features of the day was the heavy selling of .short lines by Interests believed to be on the short side In a big way. New low prices, wero made on oats yesterday, but they rallied some after wards and closed at small losses for the day. The Canadian oats aro coming In direct competition with our own and dealers expect still lower prices for all descriptions. Provisions closed at higher levels yes terday, with pork the strongest of tho list. Grain traders were astride of tho lib market and at least one of tho largest Packers was seller of lard. The nork was well bought, and there were many in the trade who believed tnat it was .also well sold. Business In cash meats tnd lard was rather quiet. Cash wheat was lift He higher. Cash corn was c higher to Mc lower. Cash oats were unch&nced to lie higher. Clearances In corn wero 6.000 bu.. oats. 2.000 bu, and wheat and flour equal to 742.000. The close at Liverpool was UHd higher on wheat and IViGlHd liwer on corn. Primary wheat receipts were 574,000 bu, and Shipments 346.00) bu. against re ceipts last year of 1,122,000 bu. and ship ments 515,000 mi. Primary corn receipts were 1,068,000 bu, and shipments 732,000 bu. against re ceipts last year of 850,000 bu. and ship ments 766,000 bu.

CHICAGO, Jan. 8. One break followed another toauy m corn, isxpanainr com- ivbtltlon from Argentina was chiefly lesponslble. Prices closed heavy, ll,4( lic to lHtflHc under last night. Wheat suffered a net loss of '.it'c to He and oats. a decline of no to i&tv-Ae. in nrovi sions the outcome was a rise of 12Hffl5o to 374c. Argentine corn, which had been bought for gulf ports at the 'Chicago May quo tation, was being hedged In the pit here, with other cargoes from the South Ameri can icpuduc said to do pressing tor sale Deferred shipments from Argentina, It was said, were tendered at below the Chi cago May basis. Buenos Ayres dispatches told of a sharp setback tn prices there and of active liquidating sales uy noiaers, the result of prospects for a record lireaK lmr cron. Addded to the weight of other corn on the market was a volume of revelling frtm shorts who covered yesterday. Mild weather that promised a continuance of BiacK demand irom teeacrs lennca xur ther la make bearish sentiment more raal r-.il. Halites were brief and feeble, with final values at almost the lowest point of the day. Although steady during most of the sea slon, wheat untlmately responded to the collapaft In corn. A strong close at Liverpool, small receipts overywhere and the disappearance or snow mrougnout mu winter cron states failed to check a sell- Ir.g flurry that developod In the last hour nnd that left Uio market In a rather rervous condition.

".Although there wero symptoms of weakness In various .quarters at the outset today, the general movement was upward. Reading, espe cially, was In active demand. The mar ket failed,, however, to maintain Its strength and during tho latter part of tho day it slipped backward until prices In some Instances were depressed below yesterdays close. Reduction in tne uar.n of England's discount rate from 6 to 4'.t per cent exerted an Important influence on sentiment for a time, assisting in the upturn. The effect of the change tn the discount rato was Increased by tho strong showing In the proportion of re serves to liabilities from 33.39 to 49.34 per cent. There was evidence of Im proving conditions In the domestlo money murKet also, call loans were reneweu at 2H per cent and lower rates were quoted for time loans and mercantile discounts. The afternoon recession In stocKs was Influenced by several developments, which exerted an adverse Influence. The monthly copper statistics showed an In crease li stocks of 43,500,000 pounds, a much larger falling off In consumption than had been expected. Domestic deliv eries were the smallest of any money of the five years In which the producers' association has been Issuing reports. Copper stocks, which had held up well Ir. the forenoon, sold off sharply on the appearance of the report. Another disturbing feature was tne acute weakness of American Sugar, which sold off over 4 points. New Haven also declined abruptly, owing to the poor showing of the road's November state ment. bonds were Irregular with an upward trend. Total sates, par value, $2,760,000.
