Says Europe Causes
Bad Grain Markets

CHICAGO, Feb "A clique OF Euro
pean governmental buyers are respon-
sible for the instability Of the grain mar
ket, Joseph P. Griffin, president of the
Chicago Board of Trade, charged here
today.
Griffin urged grain exchanges in this
country to bar Argentine grain prices
from the American market, alleging the
European buyers controlled the grain
markets Of this country and have been
using flake quotations on the Argen-
tine market to force down prices in the
United States.

Wheat-Tuesday' export sales and
recovery in Buenos Aires prices
brought about a change Of front In
wheat markets Market was stimulated
at one time by report that the supertax
on Argentine exports had been fixed. This
was denied later, it developing that the
normal tax for February had been
placed at slightly less than the January
normal tax. On this question Of tax 1t
seems to us that rally is not an i'm
portant matter In determining our prices
1t relates more intimately to the Argen
tine farmer than to any one else. There
has been evidence at the seabOard at Win
nipeg and at one of the Western markets
of new export business, but as yet no
details are obtainable. Argentine wheat
is quoted at 6 to 10 cents under United
States sorts, delivered Europe and United
Kingdom In face of these discounts new
foreign demand for our surplus is OF i'm
pOrtance as showing either that our
wheat is more desirable or that the sur
plus of all countries will be needed. Do
nestle exporters reduced their bids IN
the country for gulf shipment, resulting
IN purchases Of just exactly nothing.
Kansas mills find difficulty in supply
ing their requirements because of the
very light offerings by the farms. 1t
seems to us that new export sales from
this time forward, II Of any volume
whatever, will have considerable influence
In shaping prices, because of the very
small surplus remaining within an
other month the condition Of the grow
Ing crop will become a factor. Condi-
tions, at the moment, are reported favor
able, but trade journals suggest the pos
sf15ility OF more than the ordinary claims
of insect infestatiOn.' The greater oppor-
tunities seem to lie on the investment
side Of the market.
Coarse Grains-The strength in wheat
was an influence In corn and oats, but
Of greater effect was the sharp falling
of in country offerings and consignment
notices. Industries showed little more
interest in buying cash corn, but the
shipping demand IS not improved. 1t Is
felt that both corn and oats have fully
di discounted the accumulatiOns In termin-
ais and the slow demand It the same
time, and It Is recognized that the stocks
OF corn in elevators must be in greater
demand If prices are to score any partic-
'ular advance.
Provisions-A little business in cash
lard reported, but volume Is not large.
The buying Of deferred deliveries yester-
day seemed to come from former sellers,
theer being no improvement In new trade

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady today at a net decline
of 1893 points.

siderable local selling, to which was added
pressure from spot houses, and Liver
pool. this being partly absorbed by Wall
street and the South.
Little change occurred from initial
levels during the first fifteen minutes and
the undertOne was unsettled, with senti-
ment inclined to be bearish on the Man
