1,800 head of hogs makes the total for
the week 64,500 head, which, although a
trifle mure than a week ago was over
44,000 leas than the corresponding days a
year ago. Tho attitude of packer buyers
continues very bearish and with very lit
tle shipper demand the first half of the
week they forced pilces to lower levels,
until Wednesday prices were close to $1
lower than last Saturday. A lively ship
per demand has developed the last half,
however, and there haa been a gradual
advance which with Saturday's market
10 26c higher than Friday at a bulk of
(13.7013)14.10 and top of $14.26, prices are
almost back-to where they were last Mon

killers moved around $I9.7C20.25. Ewes

(Holiday) v
Chicago drain and Provisions.
Chicago, Feb. 21. Corn slid down fur
ther in price today, owing more or less to
bearish forecasts of the government's com
ing report on farm reserves. The close
was, heavy, l-914c not lower, with May
$1.3091.30T4, and July $1. 271491. 57.
Oats lost c to c and provisions 22c
to 40c.
Except for a brief Interval soon after
the opening, bears had the advantage In
the corn market throughout the session.
It was said that the government report
soon to bo Issued would show an unusu
ally large total of feed grain still undis
posed of by growers. This gossip ap
parently gave fresh emphasis to selling
pressure, due to belief that the federal
grain corporation had started to 'liquidate
Mg holdings of wheat and flour that
seemed likely to have no -foreign outlet.
Contrary announcements of possible re
newal of flour buying on the part of the
government tended temporarily to atlmu
inte a little demand from shorts In the
corn market, and so, too, did the cancel
ling of freight restrictions east of Chi
cago. No other support developed, how
ever, and the close was near the lowest
level of the day.
Oats weakened with corn.
Provisions were depressed by the de
cline and the poor outlook for export
business. ,

Cheapeake and Ohio. New York central
and New Haven at extreme gain of 1 to
' Standard rails also rallied from their
irregularity of the opening, when aeveraj

by further opposition to the railroad bill.
Improvement among tranaportatlon
later extended to several proinent in
dustrials, notably American Woolen, Cen

annual statement, and several motor,
equipments and steels. '
At their maximum quotations these
stock were up to 3 to ( polat. but
profit taking incidental to the double

to strong close. Sale amounted to, 450,

Domestic rails and industrials were the
only steady feature of the contracted

changed on call during the week. .Total

worthy for still another reduction of

falling to about $5,100,000,000 against al
most $5,376,000,000 In the first week of

Substantial Rallies Are
v Features of Week's Trading
New York. Feb. 2. Rallies at sub
stantial proportions attended an active
week til the securities market,, rails lead
ing tha list out of Its acute depression of
the preceding fortnight.
The -advance in transportation which
ranged from 2 to t point in the better
known issues snd even more In others of
speculative character waa popularly -ascribed
to the approaching termination of
government control and satisfaction at
the probable outcome of federal leglsla-
""various features of the proposed con
gressional bill are meeting with disap
proval from railway executives and bank
r,' In essence, however, the measure
la regarded, by the association of owner
of railroad ecurltles as the "most satis
factory program of business legislation
.itfiaAil hv a law-maklns' budy."
Elsewhere In the stock list there w :
evidence . that the market had weathenSJ
the recent waive or uquiaauon. inis wtw,
seen in the sharp rebound of high -class
industrials, notably oils, motors, tels
and equipments: also In the recovery it
affiliated specialties.
Quite as Important in relation to the
Improvement was the better tone shown
by foreign exchange and relaxation of
monetary accommodations. Remittances
on London made an extreme rise of al
most 30 cents In the pound and call money
was freely supplied at 6 per cent.
Encouragement was offered also by ad
ditional easing of commodity prices, es
pecially in grains, provisions, leathers and
textiles although it was realized that this
reaction resulted chiefly from the curtail
ment ot exports.

Corn Market Relaxes From
High Tension During Week
CJjicago, Feb. II. Notwithstanding
tenacity of rural holders of grain, the
corn market this week ha relaxed some
what from reoent high tendon. The chief
bearish Influence was virtual stoppage of
European call for paoklng houae product,
a circumstance closely related to the. do
in est to feeding value of cereals Com
pared with a week ago, corn quotations
this morning were H to, lHo lower, oata
showed a setback of lo to Ho and pro
visions varied from unchanged figures to
46o down.
It was not until leading packers had ex
pressed opinions that lower prlcee for
meats, lard 'and the like appeared to be
Inevitable that the corn market showed
any signs ot week nesa Previously, the
evident failure of ail efforts to bring
larger supplies ot corn to th big centers
was tho dominating factor. Later, how
ever, in addition to feeling the effects of
expression In foreign trade the corn mar
ket was sensitive to a department of J unt
ies report about selsure of foodstuffs.
Subsequent rallies were more than over
come by indications that tha government
waa taking measures to onload Its stocks
of flour and wheat preparatory to the
approaching end of federal guarantees.
Oat desoended with earn.
The big stock of lard and rib hero wa
plainly a weight on the provision market
