n Sympathy With Advarces in Live
Hog Market.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Corn today con-
tinued in strength Notwithstanding
that receipts had materially increased
According TO some leaders the actor
Of the market merely illustrated the
demand. After opening 4 cent higher
with May az s1.26as. prices hardened
little more and then underwent q
slight reaction.
The demand was explained as due
largely to a general desire to accum-
ulate a reserve before the sharp de-
crease expected when farmers boone
busy with field work. The close was
unsettled, with March at s121ss and
May at sl.269s. with the final range
as a whole Is cent off to Is cent up.
Oats.
Active commission houses buying
advanced oats to new high price levels
for the season. The opening, which
was unchanged to y cent down, with
May at SO to S312, was followed by
further upturns.
Provisions.
Higher prices for hogs lifted pro-
visions.

lower than Saturdays average, but a
good demand took care OF the fairly
large receipts. Down state points re-
