GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

DETROIT, March 2-Close: Liver
pool came In strong on Thursday and
blamed part OF IL on the strength
shown over here. Argentine exports
were estimated smaller than expected
and a firm tone was noted In Manito-
ba. The Liverpool strength was not
felt In the present months delivery,
which was quoted easy. while far on
deliveries advanced
While many dealers bought in order
TO make something out Of the upturn
provement in price was justified by any
change In market conditions IL was
accepted az a speculative move OF the
same class as the recent advance. when
prices were put up by pure money
muscle and not because conditions Were
favorable. No one expects the present
movement to go so far as the previous
one did. for that had bad crop out
look TO assist IL. while now the winter
wheat crop Ia IN splendid shape.
Cash business 10 bad and good ac-
cording to who II talking. IL Is said

for one day and an elevator man In
that city sold 100000 ou s OF wheat 10
e slow in the southwest and Chicago
The crop situation is excellent in the
