WHEAT PRICES
STILL LOSING

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. Wheat prices
turned downward Monday increased
considerably by failure of predictions
that there would be liberal export
buying for Greece. The market closed
unsettled 2Ac to 23ic lower with
March $l54E to sl.54% and May Sl.4424
to s1.45
Corn lost sc TO &c to 1hc and oats
Maize to &pkc.
In provisions the outcome varied
from unchanged to 32iAc lower.
1t had been much talked of that
Greece would be in the market for
wheat enough to warrant increased
confidence by bulls. Nothing however
developed, and bears contcndcd that
with Argentina, Australia and India,
pressing to supply Europe the export
business from the United States could
no longer be depended on to maintain
domestic values.
Much was made of gossip that In
dia had sold 1,OO0,000 bushels to Italy,
cheaper than the wheat could be OBJ
tained in this country. The only gains
were at the outset. Depression later
was emphasized by n huge increase
of the visible supply Of corn. Nearly
10000 600 bushels of corn were shown
to have been added to the visible sup
ply total in tho last two weeks This
fact proved a decided weight on oa &
as well as corn. Big receipts of hogs
weakened provisions.
