GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, February S.-Persistent
heavy speculative selling, associated
with gossip about price fixing for
basic commodities, more than wiped
out advances today in the corn mar
ket. The close was nervous at the
same as yesterdays finish to 80 net
lower. with May LIP to II2h and
July 1.0sA to 1.0Si4. Oats lost u to l.
In provisions there were gains of 81
TO 95 cents.
At first the corn market had an
upward slant, owing to weekend ad-
1ustment of trades and to reports
that no decided. increase of selling
by rural holders was looked for.
Moreover. advices were at hand that
the entente allies were unwilling to
accept the export conditions which
the Argentine government was said
to be trying to enforce. Houses with
eastern connections, though, took an
aggressively bearish attitude, and
finally succeeded in bringing about
declines.
Gossip that a further downward
movement of commodity prices was
inevitable had considerable to do
with the setback, and so, too, had a
sudden development Of hedging here
in the February option.
Oats were weak throughout the
day. Support was lacking.
Reports that packers had received
liberal new orders from the govern
ment hoisted provisions. Shipments

think from the zeal they discover
upon this subject that they have al.

river is the real line that the Al

well enough how to despise the natu

how many entrances into Germany

ever, they say, the allies have chosen
to put Austrians and Prussians on
what has been considered since the
ton of Louis NV the French side
of the Rhine, which will no doubt
give US the pleasure of soon driving
them across.
War is now very earnestly desired
in France by the military. 1t is both
for revenge and employment; their
rage is black and bitter enough and
threatens the most sangUinary com

This is, however the last resort for

are subject to general adjustment
through world lowering of all prices
Moreover, should either wages or ma
terial prices fall during the year. this
will be reflected in manufacturing
costs so there is not likely to be any
loss under the guaranteed price.
Even more interesting has been the
price situation in textile and dry
goods generally. When buyer and
seller first came together in this field
their price views were dogmatic. Buy
ers maintained that prices must come
down and manufacturers insisted that
they must stay up. Uncle sam mad
millions of pounds of wool to sell In
the open market and millions of bales
of cloth, millions of uniforms ready
to wear, millions of suits of under
wear, hats, shoes. Buyers pointed to
these great government stocks to
scare the manufacturers and the man :
ufacturers, while undoubtedly fright
ened. held dogmatically to their be-
lief that prices should not come down.
Then things began to happen. Uncle
Sam announced auctions of his wool.
but got prices that were considered
far too high by both manufacturers
and merchants. Isolated articles like
b,eached muslin were actually quoted
at reductions of several cents a yard
