GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Grain Men Are Expecting News Re
ports from the Bulls.
CORN IS IN THE BALANCE
While the Farmer Are Not Inclined
to Sell, Neither In There Any -Demand
tor the Cnnli
Article,
OMAHA, Feb. P. 1914.
There. Is no doubt In tho minds of
inany grain men throughout the country
that tho bulls In wheat will claim de
terioration to tho crop ns soon ns Brow
ing weather puts In nn nppcarancc. The
losses to wheat will receive a great deal
ot attention when tho time arrives for
tho springing of this kind of news, as
tho trade on tho whole will bo cnablej to
turn to tho abnormally low temperatures
of recent time, and this will glvo them
n leeway for covering ahort lines or tak
ing on long wheat. Tho stato of Kansas
Is generally the point of attack during
the spring months, and It will bo safe to
predict there will be a great deal of' talk
of tho crop having suffered there on
uccount of winter killing.
Tho losses In Argentina will be re
flected In tho other wheat markets of tho
world before tho spring months roll
nround. Tho exportable surplus has been
reduced on several occasions of late, but
tho largest reduction was sent to tho
Armour Drain company via Antwerp and
which arrived hero aSturday. This cable
gram said that Argentina will not have
to exceed 40.000,000 bushels of wheat to
sell to the outside world, which is com
pared with a earlier estimate of as high
aa 90,000,000 bushels. Now that Japan has
entered the wheat markets of tho world
as a buyer and has purchased goodly
amounts of Australia, tho European con
tinental market doubltcss will feel the
effects of this new buying power of tho
far cast. World's shipments for Monday
next will bo 11,610,000 bushels, whllo for
the corresponding week shows 14,800,000.
It Is said there will bo a fair Increaso
in the amount of breadstuffs afloat on
oceans destined to the importing coun
tries. Decreases aro looked for in the
vlsblo supplies of both tho United States
and Canada. Tho English visible supply
decreased 1,476,000 bushels last week,
compared with a decrease of 413,000 bush
els for a like period last year.
Cash wheat was He higher.
Tho corn market is In the balance.
Whllo tho farmers ori the wholo aro not
Inclined to pnrt with their grain around
tho present prico level, there Is no de
mand to speak of for the cash arttclo
and this fully offsets tho lack of offer
ings from the country. Tho open Interest
in corn has oeen greatly reduced of late,
with tho big people either out of their
holdings or nretty well covered on the
recent price setbacks. The. weather Is tho
uest that tno country nas enjoyeu mis
winter for tho curing of corn, as well as
for tho shelling of grain and the move
ment to the market. Crop advices from
Argentina could hardly bo moro favor
able than ot late, and to clinch the crop
down there they have had rains during
tho last few days and tho exportable, sur
plus has beer. Increased.. Those who aro
watching the corn market closely advance
the opinion tnut it win improve casn uc
inane to ndvanco prices,
fniih enrn was 4e to lo lower.
Interior speculators are said to be tho
principal holders ot xutures in tnc uni
cago oats market, and that interest Is
lnnklntr for an advance In Prices because
of an Impossible Improvement In the
cash trade, which imd been exception'
ally small ot late.
Pmh out a worn unchanged.
Thero aro many conditions surrounding
the provisions which aro against those
who are carrying tho cash article as well
as thoso who ro long futures. The hog
situation 5s bearish, as shown, by the
'receipts at the lead'ng western markets.

Features of the Trndlnrx nnil Closing
Prices on Uonril of Trnilc.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Shuttlng down of
export demand todav counteracted bull
ish sentiment regarding wheat. In con
sequence, tho market closed easy, a
shade off to a shade up, compared with
Sunday night. Corn finished 1?c down,
oats at a decline' ot c to 04ic. and
provisions with a loss of 2HlI5c to 103
Higher prices which prevailed In tho
wheat pit until almost the end of the day
yero said to have been tho means of
cutting short a promising call for ship
ments to Europe- Transatlantic buyers
were known to havo taken amounts here
and. at Kansas City alter the coloao on
Saturday. In addition Duluth wheat was
being purchased at a lively rato by Buf
falo dealers who had confidence that
navlgtlon would open much earlier than
usual. Taking oft the hedges on 600,000
bushels of wheat destroyed by flro here
Saturday night had much to do with
keeping tho wheat market firm during
moat of tho session. The samo fire ions
was largely responsible, too, for the un
expectedly big decrease In the vlslblo
supply total. Kansas and Nebraska sent
In some scattering reports of cron dam-
nge, but renewal of western offers of
shipment to Chicago were considered to
Indicate a belief that injury by the cold
wave had not been serious.
(.Torn was heavy rrom tno start, snip
ping demand had failed to revive despite
the colder weather. Besides, receipts hero
wero larger and the estimates of the
Argentine crop continued to expand.
Oats finally gave way with corn, not
withstanding Texas reports of serious
losses fcy tho cold wavo affecting both
early and lato plantings.
Realizing sales by packers and other
longs in provisions more than offset tho
influence of higher prices for hogs. For
eign call ofr lard was eald to bo much
under the normal.

NEW YORK. Feb. 9.-Hlgher prices for
American stocks .n London stimulated
tho homo market at the opening today.
The effect of tho rlso abroad was
heightened by free buying hero, partic
ularly of steel for foreign account. On
tho early transactions moderato gains
wore made by most ot the representative
shares. Traders swllng over to tho long
slJo in the belief that an upturn was duo
after the slow reaction ot last week.
Shorts who attempted to cover found
the supply of stocks scarce and were
compelled to raise- tholr bids. There was
a steady Investment Inquiry, although
the demand tvas not as largo. as recently.
Tho market held firm for a time, but
eventually wcakenei and gains were
eliminated.
Renewed weakness ot a few stocks af
fected tho general market and was
primarily resnonslblo for checking tho
upturn. Rock Island Issues added other
marks to their succession of low records

Hi lat bids were quoted as anywhere
from 5o to In porno cases 15c lower, being
worse on the extreme' lights. According

fifteen loads still In first hands.
The bulk of tho sales were made nt

the third consecutive time tops landed at
js.55. a number of loads selling at this
