Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24-Corn was the leader in
the grain trade to-day, pulling up prices Of
the principal reason for the unusual situation
May corn at the close showed an advance of

changed
An active demand from several prominent
bulls and good buying by cash houses started
the sharp advance in the price of corn.
Alarmed at the appearance of urgent demand
shorts endeavored to cover, but offerings be-
ing extremely small they only served to force
higher prices. The clearances at the seaboard
was the factor which received much attention
easier, May being a shade to 1sdHc lower
at 46% q465hc. Almost Immediately, how
ever. heavy purchases BY, a, recognized leader
of the bulls precipitated an active inquiry
from shorts and the session advanced the
volume of trading increased Prices rose
steadily until May had reached 4Sc. The mar
final quotations of May being 475sc.
wheat % opened easier, May was unchanged to
lsc higher at 81 1891 1915 and July was
unchanged to nc lower at 81 01%@1 01%
The weakness at Liverpool was attributed to
enormous shipments from Argentina, exports
from that country being 4.360,000 bushels, COM
pared with 3,96S. 900 bushels In the correspond
ing week year ago Pit traders sold quite
freely at times forcing May down to 81 1871
On the dip commission houses became active
buyers, causing a quick rally. During the
last half-hour the volume of trading was very
light, the interest of traders being diverted
temporarily to the corn pit The strength of
the yellow cereal the main cause of late
firmness in other grains. At 81 1875 May
reached the highest point of the day and the
closing was at the top. July sold up to
81 02h closing at gain OF lAQl%c at
