Chcag go. February 20.-A revival of ex-

with a net gain of shade. Corn finished
isaso up and oats at an enhancement
of is@hc to hc, but provisions were off

Bullish cables made holders of wheat
confident from the outset that foreign
buying would be in order The belief
was soon justified by announcement tina;
some business for Europe was being done
in the southwest from interior points
by way of the gulf. Later the fact de-
veloped that liberal sales had been
brought about here to exporters for
shipment from the Atlantic seaooard,
Domestic weather and crop conditions
almost without blemish formed the chief
obstacle to a more decided upturn. The
contrast in this respect with other coun-
tries was quite unusual, Russia and
