GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, Feb. Fresh strength
developed In the corn market today,
especially in the February delivery, The
absence OF a large visible supply and
he unllkelihood Of getting a big crop
movement in the near future seemed
to be chiefly responsible. Opening
prices, which ranged from hc off to
nc advance, with May $l.12 to $l.12h
and July $l.0Sh to S1.09h, were fol-
lowed by material gains all around, al
though interrupted by a brief sharp
setback.
Bullish sentiment was intensified later
by assertions that a new decree had
been issued by the Argentine govern
ment prohibiting exports except at
greatly advanced prices, The market,
however, f~luctuated rapidly, and closed
unsettled, Nc net lower to NC advance,
with May. Hl2&s to $l.12& and July
$l,0SiA to $l.0S&.
Oats displayed independent strength.
After opening NC off to NC up, the
market scored a decided general gain,
Big export sales holsted provisions,
The fact that shipments OF lard and
both fresh and cured meats were more
than double the totals a year ago
helped to uphold the advance.
