CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-The grain
market opened today with a quiet dip
In wheat after which prices strength
ened and there was gradual
strengthening tendency. A heavy run
of wheat at Minneapolis caused the
ufavorable tone at the opening. but
cable advices OF higher prices in
Europe and South America caused the
stiffening here after the initial break
Corn prices were very firm. May
corn went to 50 cents early in the
trading but met large number of
stop orders which sent it down to
l6Ss4 cents. Liverpool prices we're high
CIR with an increased demand for corn
for immediate delivery. The demand
in the southwest was also reported
increasing.
The oats trade was very moderate
in volume, but prices worked higher
in sympathy with other grains. A re-
port was circulated that local stocks
of this grain will soon becnne exs
hausted with the steady demand from
the east and the small receipts
The tone In provisions was easy
with considerable selling on the part
of the smaller packers. The heavy run
