CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, February 23-Quick shrink
age in values took place today on the
board of trade as soon as new rules es-
tablishing maximump price limits on every
commodity were put into effect. Oats
especially made a sharp descent. Net
declines were: Corn. 4 to Na1a oats,
3h to ~. and provisions, 35 to 81.
In the oats market there was a general
rush to sell at the instant the opening
gong struck. Notwithstanding. however.
that transactions amounted to a big ag-
gregate. the pressure was Of a widely
distributed sort. which gave no evidence
of affecting any large individual hold
ers. Rallies that followed severe initial
breaks in prices appeared to be due
wholly to profit taking by shorts. Liqui-
dation broadened again In the last part
OF the day.
Corn was easier with oats, but the new
restrictions did not apply directly to
corn any more than has been the case
for some time. The fact that all freshly
arrived corn here was in request helped
to prevent radical weakness.
