CHICAGO. ILL Feb. 14.-The markets On
ticsllY unchanged. The expected cat Ia west
ern grain rates, and the neWs from st, Louis
that there was heavy selling there on expected
euts to follow on ads tributary 10 that point,
created considerable weakness in all grain
markets. Nav wheat, which opened at slkG
Sl9<s under liberal selling by several houses,
broke TO SOzSc, and when this figure was reached
heavy purchases on strength of tax OF dam
age by Geld weather to winter wheat caused re-
action in Nay to Sl&c, but shortly after noon
selling was renewed and May dropped back to
hs
The expected Generalization in freight rates
and the large receipts which are expected TO
follow kept prices down. May opened un.
changed at 5lx651Zc, and dropped 10 and
closed at 5OXc. Since the reduction In storage
rates the difference between near ana long
futures has become less. This, with the de-
mind for cash corn, caused March to close
at 46xc. There was little IN provision mAskee
