There has been a fairly keen interest

The government terms for nSferrinG

options. Manufacturers report very
firm situation. with little effort on their

Grain, Produce,

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, March 15.-Liberal re-
ceipts and favorable weather for the
crop movement led to further declines
today in the corn market. Absence OF
shipping outlets to the east counted
also as a beariSh factor. There was
gossip too, of a likelihood that owing
to the poor quality of the 1917 crop a
lower grade of corn than at present ac-
cepted would be standard for filling
of contracts Opening prices. which
ranged from Is to 4 lower, with March
1875. and May l.26Is, were followed
by material drop.
General commission house selling
carried down values of oats. Reports
indicating increased acreage being
seeded handicapped the bulls. After
opening x to y off the market UNDER
went moderate additional setback
Provisions sympathiZed with the
weakness of grain. Besides, the hog
market WAS lower.
