lBY TELEGR TO THE TRIBUNEI
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Early to-day it was sup
posed deliveries of all sorts OF property 70
be very small. Tonight a careful inquiry shows that, IN
fact the deliveries OF wheat corn and large
but the deliveries of provisions exceedingly small
The packers it Is set down. holding the product for
higher prices is said that wheat lodged with Messrs
Poole Kent & Co. went freely to Eggeston The
latter is professional carrier Of property 1t is part
OF tile gossip tonight that Old Hutch" who has been
buying very largely OF May corn has made some sort OF
dlcker with Eggleston and that as result the LATTER
who was carrying wheat delivered out his wheat and
now carrying corn intead.
Only about onehalf Of the 100000 bushels OF con-
tract corn came ont The rest Is held by Baker, Lind
blom Rumsey and the other large houses who have
toners with good staying qualities and who are believers
in corn OF $4,000 barrels of pork coming Hutchin
SON. only $500 barrels were delivered. or very
large block of pork coming to another large Office still
smaller proportion delivered. Aside from the de-
veries about which there good deal Of msappre-
henson until quite late there very little Of interest
I'm II markets They were however ell pretty strong
and all closed higher than last night.
The receipts OF large and the grading turned
out nearly so per OF contract All the infu-
ences except those Immediately about the grail pits
were bearish, yet prices went up
Provisions and grain were not in the same situation
There only 10000 hogs at the yards and shippers
and packers competing with each other Pork
pork touched $40 20, the highest figure yet this
season. There was subsequent decline, but the
close ON the call was Sl6 02l2. Lard steady all
day and closed at the highest point, 80 37l2 80 40
Yesterday there only $4,000 hogs at the yards and
onetbjr OF these were sent The little packers have
became tired of competing with the big houses and the
rich shippers, and have some OF them shut down. May
ing at 97s and speedily went up TO 9sl2;
May corn opened at oaSs and nd. a ii,,i Gee
strong day. The wheat bears said that its price
sustained by the advance IN the provision pit The sell
advance in grain. There has been some big buying
OF both wheat and while there very heavy
concentrated selling Everything closed at the top to-
night and feeling strong, but the market all
day under the control OF scapers and is likely to
down as I'D tomorrow.

FRIDAY Feb. 1.-P ".
For the greater part Of to-day tie stock specula-
tion was tame and featureless. Immediately fol-
lowing the beginning of business the recovery from
yesterdays closing figures was general but before
noon the gain was lost and prices as rule were
fractionally below last evenings. At about that
time report was current that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company had sent a notice 10
Commissioner Fink that rates east-bound bust
ness were being extensively cut, accompanied by
demand that the official rates should be declared
according TO the rule to be thesame as the lowest
of the cut rates, which was understood 10 be on
the basis of 1913 cents for grain from
Chicago On that report there was mo-
Inentary further depression, from which, however,
there was quick recovery, and latera steady inn
proyement that lasted till the close of business.
Louisville and Nashville stock again was scarce for
delivery and commanded from Is to Il per cent pre-
MUM for use but the stoekis exceptional in closing
no higher than yesterday-i0-after decline to
47Ts St. Paul was second only TO Union Pacific IN
point of activity and after SS7s0S0G $3.50, later
rose TO 0Oas, at which it closed. Union Pacific
opened at 77asa77i2977is g, and later sold at SO9
