WARLIKE NEWS HAS

UPWARD TENDENCY

CHICAGO. Feb. 4. Corn tended upward in price today as a result of the more warlike news from Europe and of severe low temperatures. Besides, receipts showed but little enlargement and offerings were light. Forecasts of warmer weather, however counted against any radical advance. Opening prices, which ranged from unchanged

figures to SAAc higher with March.

$1.27 and May $1.25 to $1.23, were followed by a slight recreation and them a moderate rally. Oats developed strength owing to the absence of aggressive selling. Bears were handicapped by the same reasons as in corn. After opening Yb to c higher with May 79 to 80c the market scored some further gains. Higher quotations on hogs made provi?ions average higher. Energetic support though, was lacking.
