WHEAT MARKET MOLDS EVEN IN ! QUIET SESSION Com and Oats Are Weak as Profit-Taking Sales Show Increase. Mr United Pres* Jan. 7.—Grain prices ’jjwrely moved as the Board of Tjrade opened today and what few transaction.s there were, were mostly <li the way of selling with buying Moderate. Wheat was steady with <ly July wavering. Corn was ismewhat weak as profit-taking •‘Afcler, Increased. Oats had the ughtest of trade, but was affected jjjghtly by corn. The easing at fflverpool had no effect, the English igarket, finding no support for Its frly advance. Jr At the opening wheat was unQbangpd to 's cent lower; corn was ifnchanged to % cent lower, and dats were unchanged to ' cent Provisions were steady. Z Buenos Aires Weak ~ After the holiday Tuesday, BueAires opened weakly, but was off only 1 i cent, just, before noon. The Liverpool market followed the advances in North America and started strong, but fell back to % to ’* cent higher by mid-afterncon. The tone in all speculative markets appears to be improving. There is little pressure to sell wheat except on the advances and dips bring in support July is being strengthened by the uncertainty of the winter wheat crop at home and the deterioration in quality of the Argentine crop now being harvested. There has been some discussion of the farm board’s possible stabilization of July wheat, opinions differing widely. Corn Is Transferred Corn is considered the real market by all interests and the board transferred corn trading to the wheat pit this morning, effective next Monday to accommodate the increasing number of traders while wheat goes to the old corn pit. Professionals are friendly to the buying side owing to the light receipts, moderate country offerings and good cash demand. The strength in corn gives oats a firm front. Receipts are dwindling and local industries arc taking cash pats in good style. Chicago Grain Tabic —Jar,. 7 •WHEAT— Prev. High I.nw.. 11:00. close.

1 Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Tuesday’s Times: Abraham Levy Secured Acquittal for Murder Committed in Courtroom—Abraham Levy’s client was Edward Divins, who, on June 27, 1892, shot and killed Max Clerget in the open courtroom during a session of the court of general sessions of New York City, to avenge an outrage committed upon his sister. The murder was committed in full view of all the court officers, witnesses, and the jury. Divins was placed on trial for murder in the first degree before Recorder Smyth, and a jury, on Oct. 19, 1392, after deliberating for an hour and twenty minutes, returned a verdict of “not guilty,” and Divins was discharged by the court.
