the syndicate is buying on the assum

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, February 19.-Bears

ket today, chiefly owing to apparent
absence of any important European
buying. and as result OF liberal re-
ceipts northwest. The close was heavy.

corn lost 1sa1k to III. oats u to l q
and provisions els to 17ls.
Although at the outset wheat showed
little frmness, in sympathy with
higher quotations at Liverpool. the
tendency afterward was almost uni
formly dswngrade. 1t was soon dis
covered shat the market here had no
aggressive support. Sellers. therefore.
became bold and made much of the
enlargement of receipts in the spring
crop belt, especially the Minneapolis
arrivals In this connection the fact
was pointed out that Minneapolis
prices had gone to discount under
Winnipeg. as against recent premium
of 21a. 1t was said country dealers IN
the northwestern states were selling
more freely today than has been the
case of late.
Evidence of liquidation by seaboard
holders of wheat developed in the last
business noted was 100000 bushels dis
posed of at Baltimore, despite the ac-
knowledged smaliness of European re-
serves. Domestic crop reports were less
bullish than heretofore and particularly
SO as to Kansas.
Corn suffered in value owing to the
weakness of wheat and as result OF
large arrivals. Big reductions in the
estimate of Argentine exportable sur
plus failed to check the decline.
Depressions in the oats market came
about because of the neaviness of prices
on other cereals. Besides. export sales
here amounted to only $4,000 bushels.
Provisions made temporary gains. in
fiuenced by speculative buying OF lard
In the end. however, the advance was
more than offset. mainly through the
bearish sentiment prevailing as to grain
and hogs.
