fact, too, that receipt, here, instead of be

been the rule of late, counted also against
would-be sellers. On the other hand,
weather conditions seemed the beat in a

however, kept the market on the upgrade to

EXPORT TRADE IN OATS FALLS OFF
Market Saga From Record Price Caused by.
Shortage of Supplies.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2. Enlarged supplies of
cars on Western roads, together with opti- .
mlsm in regard to peace, gave an advan
tage this week to the bear side of the corn
market. Compared with a week ago, price
this morning ranged from hie decline to
sc advance Oats showed net losses vary
in from a shade to lftc Provisions gained
37c to 95c.
Notwithstanding that new storms and se
vere cold low temperatures impaired rail
road efficiency east of Chicago and tended
to harden values in the corn market, tem
porary shrinkage In industrial and shipping
demand here acted as something of an off
set and prevented any radical return In
prices. By Thursday, leaders In the corn
trade willingly put themselves on record
as saying that improvement In the car situ
ation west was becoming plain. Thereafter,
prices almost uniformly sagged, and the"
market was ruled largely by bearish In
ferences as to likelihood of peace.
After shortage of Immediate supplies had
hoisted oats to new high price records for
the season, the market reacted sharply.
Shutting off of export demand was a no
ticeable factor in bringing about declines.
