Grain Review

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Wheat prices
broke severely today. influenced by a
general rush to sell as result of weak
ness at Winnipeg and Liverpool. De-
clines were pronounced here at the
opening. which ranged from TX to
4h@Ac down, with May at $1.20k q
1.221s and July at Sill to 1.1sA. When
comparative steadiness had been re.
stored the market was IL to 21ec I'M
der MONDAYS close.
A further upturn ensued because OF
assertions by a leading crop expert that
more than the usual amount of winter
killing would soon be discovered. The
close was u to 1as @1hc net lower,
with May $1.23A and July $1.195s.
Corn developed strength despite the
setback in the value Of wheat. Arrivals
here were much smaller than expected.
After opening h ~ to 70 q Nc off. the
market recovered and then made mod
crate gains.
The close was at sol to 1sc net ad-
vance. ...
Oats showed more sympathy with
wheat than with corn. Trade was ac-
tive but the bears were in the majori-
ty.
Higher prices on hogs gave some
firmness to provisions Pork, however,
seemed inclined to drag.
