! CHICAGO, February 49, The sensation in
speculative circles to-day reduction by
| the elevator companies in storage charges on
grain from 15s4 TO 934 cents per bushel per an
| mum, Effect OF withdrawal OF this burdenson e
| tax on trade was an immediate appreciation in
values. On 'chdnge May wheat opened at SIS
cents, against Saturdays closing at
| Sl3sGS1@ cents. Trading however was
not heavy, the crowd being disposed
| to wait the visible supply statement which,
! when announced, showed a decrease of StD0,0d0
bushels, considerably more than was expected.
| As the session advanced a good buying move
| MAY sold up to Sl5sc but for the greater part
| of the session it was steady around s1ssc.
Corn was influenced mainly by wheat May
opened at 81 l2c, and advanced to 5l1sc. Trading
| was good as the day advanced, but there was
no further improvement in values. The an
| nouncement that the estimated receipts for to-
| morrow were $40 cars, and an increase of 49,
| 600 bushels in the visible supply broke May M
| one time to 5l14c. There was a subsequent re-
| covery TO 5lasc, at which figure the market
| was steady for some time.
Oats were traded in quite briskly early, the
| May option especially being in demand, but
| late in the session the market ruled quiet
| Prices were a cent better, May closing at 81 SIC
| Provisions opened stronger and shade
| higher in sympathy with grain and slight adj
| vance in hogs. moderate business was
| transacted early, but later the market became
| slow until nearly the close, when a couple OF
| plunges raided the market and forced pork
| down 10 to Is cents with a rush. Lard ana
| short ribs cents. A slight rally occurred be
fore the close.
