CHICAGO, February 3.-Putting
ban on the use of Argentine quota
tons here tended today to give an
advantage to bulls in the wheat mar
ket, but the effect failed to last.
Opening quotations, which varied
from unchanged figures to. ] u cents
higher with March !.56A to 1.57 and
May I.46R to LAT. were followed by
setbacks. all around to well under yes
terdays close.
Corn paralleled the action of wheat.
After opening Il off to Alike advance.
including May at 85 to 65A cents, the
market ha rdened somewhat and then
Underwent a general sag.
Oats were governed by the course
of other cereals. starting unchanged
to a shade lower, then scoring mod
crate gains and later heading down
grade.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
frmness to provisions.
Financial conditions were construed
as bearish and prices declined to
nearly the lowest level yet for the
crop. Messages from Illinois points
indicated an increase of rural selling.
The close was heavy 3A to 5 cents
net lower, with March Tsp to 1.52A
and May 1.43 to 1.43A.
Despite falling off in the volume
of corn receipts, the arrivals con-
tinued to exceed the demand. Both
corn and oats touched the lowest
prices so far this season. Closing
We're weak at Y to u
cents net decline. with May 64S to
