PROFIT-TAKING FORCES GRAIN MARKET DOWN Liverpool Holds Steady on Good Demand: Wheat Moves Uneven. B V United Pres* CHICAGO, Feb 11.—Profit-ta.-:-;ng and general selling on overnight orders cracked the wheat market on the Board of Trade today and carried all grains sharply lower. The failure of Liverpool to follow the advance here Tuesday, despite higher spot prices today, was discouraging. A lower stock opening was a factor. The government weekly weather report said that the recent precipitation was beneficial though insufficient, while more precipitation, light and scattered. was received overnight. Buenos Aires Down Corn reacted with wheat, the technical position having been weakened by the advances. Oats met selling and declined. At the opening, old wheat was unchanged, new wheat was ; ,‘i to Hie lower, corn was % to l\'c low’er, and oats were , to %c down. Provisions were steady. A moderate demand kept Liverpool steady at % to •"< cent advance, late in the day, but sellers were cautious and afraid to press the market. Buenos Aires was down x cent. The sharp advance late Tuesday was occasioned by rumors that a revolutionary movement was under way in Russia, but these have been entirely discredited overnight. Nevertheless, the trade expects better prices due to the generally improved tone in all speculative markets and on the belief that foreign buyers need wheat. Oats Lack News Corn follows wheat rather than its own fundamentals. The country old more freely on the advance than for some time. Booking Tuesday were 175,000 bushels with some from other terminals. The bulk of the best, contained much yellow and white corn from Illinois points. Oats lacked independent news of any importance. The market follows the other grams with the cash situation having a temporary influence from time to time. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 11WHEAT—(OId > Prev. Hitch. Low. 11.00 close.
