General Markets.
CHICAGO, February l6.- There was consid-
cradle activity on Change during the morn
ing. At the opening prices for leading grains
were unchanged, but trading was limited. as It
was at first closely watched there being much
uncertainty what sort of action would follow
yesterdays sharp declines. Before there was
any decided action in grain the bears began u
rad on provisions, their efforts being mainly
directed against pork. BY preconcerted selling
and sensational offerings below the market the
cline,in May was from S1I50 to $3.50. OF course
q reaction followed. The break snduced large
packers and bears who have been short sew
eral months to begin covering. Large lines
were rapidly absorbed, and the decline was
stopped and prices started upward. and before
somewhat after midday; the feeling became
nervous. values receded to Sl3.9215. but closed
at Sl4l1143214 below last nights close.
Short ribs were active and declined 10 to 1919
cents, but reacted 212 to cents and closed
steady; offerings by scattering holders were
large, but buyers absorbed them quite readily.
Lard was slow but held up stubbornly. May
sold at S7.671SG7.75, closing at $40.
Corn was an interesting market. On early
weakness in pork the crowd pounded il and
succeeded in getting themselves very short.
May opened at 504, sold down to 80, but about
buying orders, which caused a second furry. A
bulge was started by two or three local houses
bidding "a cent over the market, winch started
the crowd. and there was Il scramble for cover.
In a few minutes May jumped from 80 to j0le.
and before noon sold at 50s4, finally closing at
5U3s- There was nothing in advices to warrant
any better prices forwheat this morning than
on yesterday. The crowd was ready for a re-
action, but it was delayed by raid on pork.
The closing hour was more quiet, and May
hung around S01stdS014, and closed for the day
at sos. Oats sold within sc range.
