Market-Provisions Turn Up Grade.

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Renewai of peace
gossip gave a moderate downturn to-
day to the grain market. The corn
market was bearishly affected by the
fine weather and big receipts. Open
ing quotations, which ranged from \
to Il cent lower, with March not quot
ed, and May at $1.255s to S1.26A, were
followed by slight rally.
The fact that country offerings to
arrive were small tended later to hard
en- quotations somewhat. The close
was steady. unchanged, with February
at s1.oS and May at $126N.
Oats.
Oats showed a more decided weak
ness than corn but also reacted more
decidedly. Reports that oats were in
active demand at Minneapolis to go
west had much to do with the rally:
After opening Is to v cent lower, with
May at 87h to S7b, prices underwent
a further sag and then recovered rap
idly.
Provisions.
Provisions advanced owing to scan
tiness OF offerings. Declines in the hog
market were ignored.
