CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADB Future Grain and Provision* CHICAGO. Jaa. 15. — Aside from a moderate decline In the price of wheat at Liverpool, which cansed slight weakness early in the day, the local market was almost entirely dominated by conditions at Minneapolis and Diiluth. During the first half bour tbe market was easy on sell ing by pit traders, who were influenced by the w<>«kness at Liverpool. - Prices soon became firm, however, on buying by shorts and - com mission houses, which were actuated by tbe rtrength of cash wheat at Minneapolis. The ex tremely small receipts at Minneapolis and Dv- Inth today formed tbe chief reason of the or geat demand at those places for cash grain. During the last half hour of trading a sudden decline at Minneapolis was followed by -general telling here, which cansed the market to close weak, with prices ' close to tbe lowest of the day. May opened nnchanged at 7«Uc. sold be tween 76% c and 76*4 c and closed ~»c net lower *t 76»4c. / ; fk Trading In the corn pit was oiilet because^ of the scarcity of offerings. Sentiment waa bearish at the opening because of the cold weather throughout the. corn belt, but tbe market soon became firm In oympatby with an advance in the price of oats. Shorts were the principal buyers, end the selling was chiefly by cash bouses. May opened a shade lower at 43% c, advanced to 44c and close, firm, %@Uc up, at 43 %c. The oats market ruled ' flrm all day. \u25a0 May opened unchanged at 36*4 c; sold to 304<g36Vc and advanced to 37Uc, closing ] .4<g?ic hlzher at 37@37»ic.
