TILE CHICAGO MARKETS.
Advances in Pork Due Altogether to Legiti-
mate and Natural Influences.
Indianapolis, Ind.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-The signs Of strength ap-
parent in the market last night were verified to-
day Wheat closed full cent higher for May
than last night, corn 1-401-2c, pork 81 lie per
barrel and lard II lie per hundred higher The
signs tonight too are just as plain for further
advance as they were on Friday, and the whole
situation looks publish"
There were only 81, 1877 hogs received this week,
80 900 head less than last weeks receipts, and
40 900 head less than for the week year ago. 1t
was no wonder that the product advanced The
situation for supply grew worse and the run of
hogs was the lightest for any week this winter,
notwithstanding 1-2c bid all along for live
hogs at the yards and that they have advanced
during the seven days 30035c per hundred
The bulls have now unquestionably the best
side of the market. Whatever the plans of the
packers concerning manipulation were, they
have not put them in operation. The advance
so far in pork lard and ribs has been due alto
gether to legitimate and natural influences 1t is
true that the largest of the packers have most
of the product they have made still in their
cellars and it is true, too. that the packers like
Armour & Fowler, have their option books filed
with purchases they have been making for
thirty DAYS from the bears and still not a
feather weight of pressure has been exertea "a
yet to crowd shorts or to hurry an advance.
Pork closed tonight at $l4 rs for May, and
$500 for lard for the same month, and all the
strong people about the wheat pit to-day were
buyers. May wheat tonight closed in the alley
at $1.01 although it closed at l o'clock at
81. 0034 The best-posted men tonight are tel
egraphing to their customers to buy, and pre-
dieting ST. % for the May option before the end
of the month
These are the arguments which are used The
winter wheat supply is said to be getting low,
and drafts must soon be made on the spring
wheat The receipts of this winter wheat
are now not above $4,000 bushels
day at the principal receiving
points combined, while the exports are about
10000 bushels daily, and the visible supply of
wheat is rapidly decreasing. Now it is esti-
mated that the decrease next week will be $780,
900 bushels. This is the perilous season for win
Ter wheat,
To day all over Kansas the mercury is down
30 about zero. All the accidents are set down
as being in favor of an advance.
Corn was very dull. The receipts were fair
356 cars. The opinion seems to be that it will
advance with wheat and pork The trading in it
is just now very small. To day the pit was alto
gether without incident.

oysters. fresh from the St. Marys river, the
meeting was called to order by DR.. Thomas

viicd TO meet this Club on Saturday next,
and npon their concurrence and invitation,

Speech making was now the order Of the
day, and Mr.. Charles A. Watts, the first
speaker, acquitted himself with much credit
by delivering thorough Democratic speech,

followed in an earnest and foribe address,
reviewing the history of the Republican par
ty since its accession to power down to the
present day. His arraignment Of that party
for its misrule past and present was scathing
in the extreme. The Doctor next discussed
