GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

DETROIT, Feb 17.--Close: IL 10 a
law In the grain trade that prices can
not 40 in one direction all the time.
and this is one OF the reasons Tor the
Trmness shown in wheat on Thursday
There had been a slump OF nearly l2c,
and an upturn was overdue Liverpool
did not respond To this improvement on
Friday, but declined because Argentine
exports were heavy ana largely des-
tined for the United Kingdom. some
flour has recently been sold for export
and also some Canadian wheat.
Liverpool is trifie nervous over
Russian exports, which are likely 10 pc
reduced largely by the ice blockade
which Will make the worlds exports
ably have bearish effect, as Russia
would In that ease export with greater
vigor than ever. Australian cargoes
are more firmly held but Europe mas
no fear for supplies,
The home crop situation is increas
ing in bearishness owing 10 plentiful
rains in Kansas and elsewhere IN the
southwest where the ground was TOO
dry for the winter wheat plant. The
acreage is large and IL now looks ike
good yield. In -four there Is nttIe or
no Improvement. Mills complain OF
slow demand aud buyers are holding
of for still lower prices.
Wheat ruled quiet and weak
throughout Fridays session and closed
with loss OF =. a lie. Corn, oats and
the other deals were quiet and un-
changed.
