Prospects of a renewal of eastbound shipments of grain from Chi. cago strengthened the corn market today after prices had sagged owing to a decided enlargement of receipts. The cloe was firm at a shade to 4 advance, with March, $1.27r4s and May $1.26.' Oats gained to c. Provisions lost T to 26 cents. ,i Encouragement shown In regard to likeli hood that corn would soon begin to move east from here in considerable amounts was baaed on sudden notice that orders which prevented the re-loading of eastern cars at Chicago elevators had bten withdrawn. As the notice meant that grain brought In by lines west of here could ba loaded at once on eastern cars instead of being piled up In Chicago, the bearish effect of liberal ar rivals here was soon mors than offset. Peace gossip, which early In the day had also received some attention, was appar ently not In favor In the late trading after the general tenor of the president's speech became known. Oats were governed by the same condi tions which affected the corn market. Re ceipts showed a material increase, but de mand waf good both from elevator Interests and shippers.
