GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. February Peace gossip
had a bearish influence today on the
corn market. Reports that Austria had
made repeated advances to President
Wilson were given special notice in this
connection. Many traders made broad
inferences also on the basis of the
Presidents letter referring to the out
look for 1918. Opening prices, which
ranged from Il to a lower, with March
not quoted and May 1.25 to 1.25h. were
followed by decided further setback.
Weakness in oats resulted largely
from enlarged country offerings. Be
sides export bids had ceased, both from
the east and the gulf. After opening
4 to 1saB down. with May 79H to S0M,
the market underwent a sharp addi-
tional break.
Provisions averaged higher. appar-
entity owing to optimism regarding
peace chances. Lower quotations on
hogs were almost ignored.
Liberal purchasing for government
account. together with expected similar
calls, helped later to sustain the pro-
vision market.
Subsequently, moderating weather
and consequent prospects of increased
receipts kept the corn market more or
less depressed. Prices closed easy at
the same as yesterdays finish to "a
lower. with March 1.26A and May

fed, and upon America falls the duty
to supply the greater proportion OF
the food.
