Special to the Appeal
CHICAGO, February 13.-The weakness
OF wheat to-day was about the only yaria-
ton from Yesterdays conditions of the
market. In all other lines of trade the

the already apparently extortionate values
that have been worked up by the great

up the old-fashioned system of estimating
according to supply and demand. Spot
corn led off with a steady tone and 54c
ruling until noon when &c was added,
and closing still further advanced to soc.

Special to the Appeal
ST. LOUIS, February 1S.-The market
has been very steady all day, bordering
upon a ~well-dehned firmness toward the

ing characteristic of the huying element,
especially as regards future transactions.

at sole, which ruled to the close. Febru-
airy sold at the opening at SOC. May
opened at 535c, and closed advanced to
534c.
