beginning in undoing the generation

made Mr. Dryden strong. First of
these things should be the rejection

MARKET REPORTS.
Chicago Produce.
Chicago, January 7. —Firm cables
and small receipts in the northwest
impaired strenth today to the local
wheat market, the closin quotations
on May delivery being l-4@3-Bc. Corn
l-Bc. Provisions were a shade to
was l-4@3-8c higher. Oats were up
2 l-2c lower.

The wheat market was firm all day
on an active demand by shorts and
commission houses. Selling was scat
tered, and chiefly by local longs. At
the outset the market was strengthen
ed by a decreased movement in the
northwest, unfavorable weather . for
handling the crop and a moderate ad
vance at Liverpool. The world’s ship
ments for the week were somewhat
less than the amount previously esti
mated, but exceeded by almost one
million bushels the shipments for the
corresponding week last year. The
possible supply station caused some
bullish feeling late in the day, the fig
ures showing an increase of 1,041,000
bushels, against an increase of 2,382,-
000 for the same time last year. The
market closed firm. May opened a
shade to l-B@l-4c higher at 75 l-2c to
75 5-Bc, advanced to 76c and closed at
75 3-4 c. Clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 509,400 bushels. The
amount on passage decreased 320,000
bushels. Primary receipts 1,022,000
bushels, against 965,000 for the same
day last year. Minneapolis, Duluth
and Chicago reported receipts of 650
cars, against 973 last week and 704 a
year ago.
