OATS IN 8 CENT JUMP
Provisions Up ~ Cents During Week
Board Hats Price Soaring.

Chicago, Feb. 23.-Beginning today
all future delivery trading in grain
and provisions here must be at prices
which cannot exceed a definitely set
maximum limit. This result has been
brought about chiefly by sensational
advances this week in oats and pork.
Compared with a week ago, every sin
gle commodity this morning showed a
riSe-corn Il to rs OH cents, oats
to 8A cents and provisions II cents
to s2.67.
Sweeping action in regard to the
establishment of an all-around stop
page of soaring prices became vir-
tually inevitable on Thursday after
failure of less drastic methods as to
tho oats market in particular.
Corn sympathized with the strength
of oats but business lacked volume
owing to restrictions associated with
the maximum price limit.
Talk of huge requirements by the
government hoisted provisions.
