WEEKLY PROVISION.
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Although in
adequacy of stock of corn on hand
here has resulted this week in
higher prices for January and Feb
ruary deliveries the latter months
have shown a noticeable downward
slant. Uncertainty Is 10 financial
conditions had depressing in
fluence on all but the nearby de-
liveries. Compared with a week
ago, corn quotations this morning
varied from l cent decline to 4Ac
advance Oats were unchanged to
k4 Mc higher. In the provision
list, the net differences spanned
from nc decline to a gain OF 2lac.
Despite indications of strenuous
effort to vercome railway traffic
difficulties and to hasten the crop
movement, the fact could not be
ignored that the amount of corn in
Chicago was far less than usual at
this season and that the Visible
supply as a whole was the smallest
in 80 years. A prospect that a
large food loan to Austria, Poland
and Armenia would be voted by
congress was also a bullish in
fiuence. The record breaking drop
III foreign exchange together with
high domestic money rates de-
prived the corn market of much
support at intervals, the more &C.
tive speculative options in partic-
ular.
Buying for the seaboard gave
| flrmness to oats.
Provisions averaged lower in
sympathy with foreign exchange.
