SIGckening Demand
Eases Wheat Prices

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Slackening Of
the rush to buy had a tendency today
TO ease down prices in the wheat
market. Closing quotations were
unsettled at y 10 rs net lower
with May at 125 TO 1855 and July
1851 TO 1OS1R. Corn scored gain
OF 81 TO Is oats finished unchanged
70 = off, and provisions unchanged
to a decline Of five cents.
Il was evident from the start that
demand for wheat had become less
urgent than has been the rule Of
late. Even apart from the usual
weekend disposition 70 realize prof
its on holdings, -here were signs Of
.essened confidence that the ad-
vance Of prices was 20 continue. and
many traders were apparently in
cl-red 10 dwell upon supposed fndi-
cations OF a pause in the upward
course or foreign values. Export
inquiry was relatively slow. and do
nestle milling call seemed also 10

spirit. The burden OF most Of the
cal BILE dispatches received here was
that the advance had been over
done. and il was generally antici-
pated that the United States visible
supply total on Monday would show
an increase.

the corn market showed !ndepend-
ent strength as compared with
wheat. Oats were steadied by he
action OF corn. Predictions were
current that there would be an &C
tual shortage OF coarse grain prior
20 a new crop.
Provisions at first advanced in
line with the hog market, but later
receded on account OF realizing sales
