Chicago Grain.


Chicago, Feb. 16.-(Grain)-The only
material change In the situation during
the week is that the receipts at pri-
mary markets have fallen slightly be-
low last year, and the tendency Is still
for further decrease by comparison.
Foreign markets have scarcely re-
sponded "a any show Of strength here,
and foreign buying, SO far as reported
from day to day, Is only moderate. The
weekly ~clearances, however, continue
to show that more than half European
requirements are being supplied from
this country. At the moment the con-
ditions are not urgent and the market
Is without tendency. The visible sup.
ply decreased l,200,000 against 55S, 900
last year, and is now 5s,5oo0,0OO against
50, 900. A fair decrease Is expected
on Monday. Worlds shipments $780,
900 against 8 800, 900. Amount on pas
sage, 80, 200. 600 against $4,000, 600 last
year. Bradstreet makes the worlds
visible increase 1,700,0 600 against de-
crease 1900, 900 last year. Cars Mon
day, As. May wheat closed 75i.
Corn - Continued light movement
from farmers hands, and fair shipping
demand. The visible supply increased
200, 900, and is now 10, 600, 900 against
IA, 700, 1000 last year. Locally the mar
ket Is somewhat congested. There is a
very small stock OF contract corn here,
large holdings are concentrated in the
hands Of strong local operators, and
there is quite a large short interest.
The movement from farmers hands is
moderate, it is thought will soon be
smaller by breaking up OF the roads.
