Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Jan. s.-Pronounced strength
developed in the corn market today owing
to stormy weather and to surprising small
ness of receipts, The close was firm, &c
to sc net higher. with May sl,36as to
S136% and July 1914 to s1.S4 e. oats
gained &c to &c. In provisions there was
a setback ranging from SC to 55c.
Corn prices jumped rapidly as soon as
1t was known that arrivals here amounted
to only 60 cars, whereas at this season
500 would not have been abnormal In other
years. Rain and snow made the outlook
still more unpromising for big move
ment and gave a decided impetus to buy
ing. Besides, a large export business in
oats, rye and barley appeared to be in
progress, despite the low rate of foreign
exchange. Under these circumstances the
upward swing OF the market was but little
hndered by a sharp break in hog values
Similar results followed announcement
that the federal reserve board would take
action against unnecessary loans ana that
an increased number Of cars would be fur
nished to railroads in the grain belt
Advances in the oats market were
checked somewhat through profit taking
on the part of recent heavy buyers.
Immense receipts of hogs weakened
provisions
