TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, February 14.-Severe
cold weather which diminished re-
ceipts and led to crop damage pre-
dictionS made the wheat mar Set
average higher in price today during
the early dealings May delivery,
however, representing wheat already
on hand, was relatively weak as COM
pared with July and September, the
principal new crop months. Mis-
givings over the winter crop outlook
were emphasized by assertions that
to date and that moisture has been
scant, especially in parts of Kansas S
and Oklahoma. The opening, which
ranged from Is off to y advance
with May 1.23A to 1.23A ana July
1.16A to 1.16A, was followed by a
slight general sag and then by an ad-
vance all around to well above yester-
days finish.
Corn and oats were governed chief
ly by the action of wheat. After
opening unchanged to baA higher,
May. .75A to .76. the corn market
eased down a bit but then scored
slight general gains.
Oats started s off to X up, May,
.46As to .46s, and after little down
i turn rose above yesterdays finish for
all deliveries.
Higher quotations on hogs gave
f1rmness to the provision market.
