CHICAGO. February I3.-The statement of
the visible supply of grain on February II, as
compiled by the secretary OF the CHICAGO Board
OF Trade, was as follows: Wheat 10 2S7l2S bu:
decrease 799.45s bu. Corn s.5Ol. 9O7 bu increase
475.047 bu. Oats 1929. 545 b1; decrease 222 O4U.
Rye sec, So bu; decrease $3.50 bu. Barley 2S0l-
9S5 bu; decrease 2l7.9SS bu.
CHICAGO, February 13.-The sensation in
the elevator companies IN storage charges on
grain from l554c to &c per bu, per annum.
The effect of the withdrawal of this burdensome
TAX on me trade was an immediate apDrecia-
ton in values. On Change May wheat opened
al Sl5se against Saturdays closing at 6i3sG3l &c
Trading, however, was not heavy, the crowd
being disposed to await the visible supply state
ment, which, when announced, showed de-
crease OF 100000 bu; considerably more than
was expected. AS the session advanced aud
buying movement developed, and especially
by exporters May sold up to Sl5Sc, but for
the greater part the session was steady around
Sl5sc, and closed at size Corn was influenced
manly by wheat. May opened &c higher at
Size, advanced 70 5l5ss. The trading was good
as the day advanced, but there was
no further improvement in values
The announcement that the estimated
receipts Tor to morrow were $40 cars, and the
increase of 575 90 in visible supply broke May
corn st one time to SIC. There was a little
subsequent recovery TO 5l5se, at which figure
the market was steady for some time, May
finally closing at 81 sa5lZc. Oats were trad ed
in quite briskly early, the May option espe-
cially being in demand, but late in the session
the market ruled quiet. Prices were nc better,
May closing at 3lzc. Provisions opened
stronger and shade higher in sympathy with
grain and the slight advance in hogs. A mod
crate business was transacted early, but later
the market became slow until nearly the close
when g couple of plungers raided the market
and forced prices for pork down 10 to 15c with
rush, lard and short ribs sc. A slight rally oc-
cured before the close. Mess pork for May
opened sc higher at sl4 TO- declined to s14 p and
closed at s14 IN May lard sold at 771z6
Z SIC and closed at sec. May short ribs sold
at 571S97 Csc and closed at Z Sc.
The leading fuIuree ranged as follows.
