to S2.33h and March S2.35. Corn
was down 1ac to 2Ac, while oats
showed a net loss of &c to hc.
Provisions were zoe to soc net

Fear of Canadian competition on
an increasing scale. with the belief
that British purchasers will be con-
fined largely to Canadian grain for
a time created more bearish view
in regard to prices here.
Needed rains over night in parts
of Illinois and Indiana led to free
selling and lower range in corn.
The weakness in wheat also helped
the market become bearish.
Oats were under pressure as the
result of the easier tone in corn.
Packers were fair buyers of pro-
visions and prices averaged higher
