GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Government coal
saving orders tended slightly to ease
down the corn market today. Selling,
however, was Of a decidedly cautious
sort. Opening prices which ranged from
unchanged figures to &c lower with
January $1.27h and May, $1.24h on
were followed by little reaction In
some cases.
Values hardened later on account Of
uncertainty as to whether elevators
and dryers would be permitted to con.
tinue in operation despite restrictive
rules as to coal. The close WAS steady
at the same as yesterdays finish to Nc
higher with January $1.z7A and May,
$1.24h.
Oats were governed by the same
conditions as corn.
Higher prices on hogs gave frnness
to provisions. Arrivals Of hogs were
less numerous than had been expected.
