CHICAGO, February 5.-Wheat
started with heavy undertone to-
day. The trade was very light and
the market was easily Influenced, the
sentiment being generally bearish be-
cause of Argentine news, the trade
hgurlng that regardless of the price
OF grain there the fact remains that
the United States must compete with
OFFERS from that country in the world
market. There was some free selling
by local trader who was a good
buyer yesterday and the early upturn
which developed in the market was
soon checked Opening prices, which
were lower to Y higher. including
]
to LAM, were followed by slight
setback.
Corn was very dull with rather
general selling of the May delivery
around IS cents. The market as a
whole followed by the action OF
wheat. After opening 1s lower to n
higher, with May IS to 651s. a weak
ness set in and prices declined slight
ly.
Oats were in sympathy with other
grains. starting II to q higher, with
Nav Az to 41M; then showing a
tendency toward lower levels. Pro-
visions were weak with grains, al
though there was some free selling
of lard by commission houses, as a
result of free runs of hogs today and
100000 for all next week.
| Corn later rallied sharply with
wheat on rather general buying
prices soon going above the final fig
ures of a week ago. The finish was
firm with prices showing net gain
of l " to l " cents, with May at sc "a
to 66k.
