GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
CHICAGO. February 16.-Wheat fell
off in price today On account of gloomy.
views of the export situation. Traders
eagerly scanned advices regarding
measures to improve railway trans
portation. but seemed unable to derive
therefrom any immediate encourage
ment as to business with foreign coun-
tries. Word that Canadian wheat in
liberal amounts was arriving at Min
neapolis tended to offset news that ar
rangements had been made to move
some of the domestic stock there to
eastern states.
Opening prices. which ranged from z
174A to Us and July al 1.4S&4 to
1.49la were followed by material set
backs all around.
Bearish sentiment prevailed in the
tendency of wheat, Rallies failed to

sag.

Provisions eased off an account of
weakness in the hog market. Besides.
shipments from here were notably
small.
Bad wheat crop reports from Kansas,
Nebraska and Missouri acted later as a
stimulus to buying and caused a de
cided rally. In addition, gossip that
sailings from New York to foreign
ports were back to nearly normal had
bullish influence. but the effect dis
appeared in the final dealings. Prices
