FRESH DECLINES IN
 GRAIN PIT CAUSED
 BY RUSHING CROP
Corn and Oats Both Took a Slump for Fractional Losses, While Provisions Were Soc
 Off to 7c Up
By Associated Press


 Chicago, February 5.-Moderate fresh declines took place in the grain and pro- vision markets today as a result. of emergency measures to hurry the crop movement, and owing to continued ten sion in regard to finances. Corn closed steady A@2c lower with May s1.11%@ 1.317s, and July s1.2sAG1. .2s1h. Oats lost l@15sc. The outcome in provisions ranged from 6oc decline to 7c advance.
 general rush to sell was witnessed in the corn market during the first part of the day, but toward the last there was noticeable letup in the pressure of offerings.
 Shorts who were in a position to- col feet profits became good buyers after the initial stampede to sell had somewhat spent it's force. Belief appeared to have spread in some quarters, too, that the decline had been drastic enough and that little reaction was to be expected. Bulls also contended that despite rail- road orders to give grain precedence, the movement of corn would be delayed by reluctance of farmers to sell on down ma rket.
 Oats displayed heaviness throughout the day. Gossip was current that the chief selling was for Winnipeg interests.
 Demand from shorts rallied lard prices. Otherwise provisions were weak with hogs and grain.
