CHICAGO. February Wheat prices
declined today after a show of firm
ness at the outset. The initial APP
pearance of strength was due to active
buying on the part of a house with
northwestern connections. but when
this demand was satisfied the market
underwent a material sag. Bears con-
tended that with competition from
Argentina, Australia and India export
sales COuIu no lOHSeI We uepeHdct
upon for the maintenance of domestic
values. Opening prices. which varied
from unchanged figures to one cent
higher, with March 1.57A to LIS and
May 1.47A to 1.4s. were followed by
slight further gains and then by a
setback all around to well below Sat
urday's finish.
Corn swayed with wheat After
opening unchanged to Is higher. in
Guiding May at 66as to 66as the market
hardened a little more and then suf-
fered a moderate general decline.

Rallies in wheat failed to last. 1t
was said India sold 100000 bushels
to Italy cheaper than the wheat could
be obtained in the United States.
Predictions of business with Greece
proved mythical. The close was un-
settled. ~ to "a net lower, with
