considering' the lichtnesg of stocks In the
country, wheat selling is on a- very fair scale
at; the high prices now prevailing. Fully
half a million bushels were disposed of by
farmers In the Northwest in the past two
days. Bid prices in the interior ' yesterday
were not materially different from that of
the preceding day, $1.60 net being pais for
bluButem, ft.58 tor forty-fold, and for
club.
.The Eastern demand is not as much of a
factor as mleht be expected, the cash posi
tion of 'Northwestern wheat there not hav
ing advanced In proportion to the rise at
this end.
At the Merchants Exchange bluestem bids
were raised 3 to 3 cents, with $1.73 offered
for March delivery. Other wheat bids
ranged from unchanged to cents higher
than on Wednesday.
Oats were strong, with offers 55 to 75
eenls advanced. Feed barley bids were also
lifted to fi$ and $40.50. These are the
' highest prices of the season, but are far
from being the record for this market. The
country barley markets were strong, with
$40 f. o.b, offered for brewing.
The Liverpool cable said: "Wheat very
firin, fears of arrivals, all export offers
strong. Corn strong, with unfavorable Ar
gentine news. Oats strong, with scarcity of
spot and expectations of light, Argentine
shipments. American offers are firmly held.
Argentine weather unsettled, with expected
. rain. Hot winds are damaging corn and
general rain is urgently wanted."

AMERICAN STOCKS MOHAIR LIGHT
Supplies at Cape Are Also Small and Prices
Are Strong.
The Boston market for mohair Is reported
generally quiet. Prices are firmly held but
show little change from the quotations made
during, the past few weeks. Stocks are not
heavy - of domestic hair; Indeed, they are
rather light and foreign stocks are not es
pecially in good supply, although firmly
held, according to the Commercial Bulletin.
Stocks of hair at the Cape are dwindling
and prices are very strong there, Basutos
having been taken there lately at S3 cents
in sizable quantities. There has been a fair
sale lately in London of hair for Bradford
account, presumably.
Alpaca Is showing a strong tendency, re
cent sales in Liverpool having been made at
50 to 02 cents for fleeces. Inferiors are also
bringing a very firm price.

scoured basis of these sales is estimated to
be 90 cents for quarter-blood and 03 cents
to $1.00 for three-eighths-blood.
The sales of territory Include 600.000 by
one house, principally composed of New
Mexico wool, at private terms. Allowance
has to be made at this time for the varla
tion in quality of wools offered. In figuring
the scoured basis, but the strength of the
market Is unabated. The quotations for

HIGHER SUGAR PKICK3 PREDICTED
End of War Would Mean Advance In Mar
ket. Says Authority.
Sugar prices higher than last year's are
not Impossible In the event of peace, ac
cording to a New York trade authority.
who writes:
"Personally, we are of the opinion that.
peace or war. sugar 'will be needed during
1917 In sufficient quantity to absorb any in
crease in production, and thereby maintain
prices on a high level. And with the ad
vent of peace (to be sincerely hoped for)
the stringent European government regu
lations now tending to reduce the consump
tion of sugar would be abolished and this,
with a probable demand from the Central
Powers to replenish supplies that have
been dreatly depleted, would be a stimulus
to prices that might carry values toward
a higher basis than was the case during
lOltf."
LOCAL BITTER MARKET IS FIRMER

Trarric Points to United 6tats
as - Logical Chief Resource
for European Purchasers.
CHICAGO, Jan. 18. Active buying on the
part of houses with seaboard connections
carried the wheat market decidedly upgrads
today. Closing prices were strong te
2c net higher, with May mt fl.80 te
1L0. and July at 1.6S to $1.63. Cons
gained 1 to So. oats to le. and pro.
visions 7 to 32 a.
European sdvlces told of need of wheat
Slid flour importations on a large scale, and
re view Jf , the destruction of shipping is
the South Atlantlo It seemed te majority
of traders to point to North America, and
especially the United' States, as the logical
chief resource for buyers.
Possibilities of renewed Interference with
steamships on the routes from the United
States to Europe did not receive mucn at.
tentlon today from wheat traders. The
fact that larce numbers of boats wers
awaiting cargoes at the seaboard tended to
offset anxiety on that eoere.
Corn reached the hlgnest price on recorq
for the May delivery, $1.02 a bushel.
Osts were stimulated by the same Influ
ence that affected corn and wheat.
At first provisions were easy In line witn
the hog market. Later the strength of
grain led to a substantial advance.
