Investment Chat.

Chicago. ILL.,. Feb. 14.-One of the
best phrases by II. G. Wells can be
used TO describe the one leading fac
tor in all grains. Argentine news:
Life is a splendid disorder of forces
that man sets his spirit TO tame"
Argentine news is certainly a splendid
disorder. We are told in February
that their wheat surplus is but 49,
100000 when such news should have
been at least guessed in late Decem-
Der.
We are justified in questioning Ar
gentine corn effulgency. II also may
he splendid disorder. We repeat that
the real size of the Argentine corn
crop will not be known before April
or May. Meantime Chicago holds g.
OOO,O corn and has received S,O00,-
900 corn Ia frightful trifle) in past 80
days versus 100000 last year.
Winter wheat is we'll covered with
snow. No large damage to date. Feb
ruary feeding of corn in central west
will be above an average. Oats and
corn are more than usually "affinities"
for the reason that domestic corn sup
plies will be exhausted late this sum-
mer. The corn and oats investor
should watch for depressions in last
half of February, as the chances of a
change in the news are with the bull.
Receipts of corn during part of April
and all of Nav will evidently be a
trifle. The oats visible is slowly
sinking. Its supposedly imperishable
bulk OF $4,000 900 on October is now
comparatively simple 100000. This
reduction rate revives hope of a mod
crate 100000 900 to 35O.O0O.000 March
visible total. Any stiffening of feeds
in general will help oats.
Rise of the hog price to sac aver
age is the early 1914 provision fea-
ture. Hogs held the to SIC average

October 1913. The winter run pressed
them to a low of $3.50 per 100 pounds.
