CHICAGO GRAIN
BY Associated Press

CHICAGO, Feb 1.-THE wheat market open
ed firm on buying by shorts and commission
houses, which was based on firm cables and
much smaller receipts In the northwest. Heavy
worlds shipments and an increase of 7,2oSOW
bushels In the amount of wheat on passage
however. had tendency to restrain sellers,
and trade was light until late in the day. The
market was further strengthened by the small
ness of primary receipts. In the final fifteen
minutes active selling by holders set In and
caused a shady decline. The market failed
to rally from this setback and closed weak,
near the lowest point May opened hQAc
highher, at 93N@937Ac, advanced to e4Ac and
declined to 927sc and closed at 92Bm93c
Corn was quiet for the greater part of the
day and the market showed considerable firm
ness because of firm cables and continued
small receipts. Prices became weak during
the final hour on heavy selling by pit traders
and commission houses. The close was weak
and near the bottom. May opened hQac
higher at 61ssQ6llsc. sold off to Coo and closed
at 60Ac
Oats were firm nearly all day. because OF
moderate demand by commission houses. The
prices declined late nj the day because OF the
weakness of wheat and corn. May opened 9s
d%c higher at 5s9sc. sold off to 52hc and
closed at 52a4c.
Provisions strong early in the day be-
cause of a 5d10c advance in the price of live
hogs, but later weakened on realizing sales.
At the close May pork was off 2is@6c, lard was
a shade higher, ribs unchanged.
