Jan 23.—Close: Heavy re ceipts of both winter and spring wheat on Monday had a weakening influence on wheat, and so had good harvesting weather In Argentina, where It was hot and dry. The opening here on Tuesday was at a small decline and bulls had little to say, as early news did not contain much In their favor. Australia has recently been offering wheat freely and Argentine news Is bearish, and although the visible de crease wa* greater than a year ago, the reduction in Chicago stocks wa* disappointing. The greatest obstacle to the advance of prices just now is slow milling demand. Flour buyer* are holding off and millers find only small purchase* necessary. At the same time the Chicago stock was re duced about 300,000 bu. Bulls believe that the surplus of May wheat is off the market and that congestion will, result as receipts and stocks are grad ually reduced. They feet that support will be met on any dip under a dollar. Kansas City reports that half of the wheat in store there Is sold to millers In Texas and the nofthwest, but south western receipts continue pretty lib eral. Northwestern dealers say receipts of spring wheat are about to decrease supply, but they have said this several time*. The market held steady on Tuesday because of cllqqe support In Chicago.

PRODUCE. The breaking of the extreme cold weather has started stuff to rolling again and a number of Items In the produce list are either lower or threat ening to decline. The butter markst took a drop of three cents, w'hlch was even more of a decline than was ex pected. Potatoes were let down five cents a bushel on larger receipts. Both poultry and drssed calvea are heavy In tone and the latter are off at least a cent, the weakness being more on lack of demand than on heavy receipts On the other hand lemons and pineapples are both higher and fresh fruits in general are steady to firm.
