GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, January 29.--Corn dew
eloped fresh strength today as n result
of the decision not to reduce minimum
hog prices in February. A general
rush to buy lifted the market in a few
cases as much as 6 cents, but such ex-
tremes were of only a momentary
sort Profit-taking set in on the bulge
and wiped out nearly all the new
gains. Opening quotations. which va
ried from l " to 6 higher, with May
III to 1.22 and July 1.1sh to 1.2o,
were followed by an irregular reaction
to about yesterdays finish.
oats were governed by the action OF
corn. After opening Il to Ia higher,
with May 59A to so, the market sag
ged to below yesterdays final level.
Maximum advances took place i'm
mediately throughout the entire list
Of provisions. There was a decided
scarcity of offerings.
