CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-TO-day's markets, in Il
general way, were features, and during the
bulk Of the morning session lfeless as well,
all, except the wheat PIT, being at times
almost deserted. A squirt OF activity sprang
up this Afternoon, when wheat actively
buIled on weather reports of crop damages,
futures closing firm at an advance. The
markets closed extremely bulllsh on the
afternoon board, with prices &c over Yester-
day. Wheat opened sc hlgher than yesterC
day. but later became very quiet, uul anu
heavy, nothing being done on any side. This
want of support sagged the market oil from
llnlsc About noon brisk bull movement
sprang up on reports OF damage to winter
wheat, and lc advance from the lowest points
was recOrked. with active covering by shorts.
The advance was all sustained; No. spring
was quoted at a. 4C9t49sc, ana NO 2 red WIN
ter at 79l2c. Other causes Of strength were
higher cables toward the close OF the morning
session, as well as advices from New York
exporters were taking TO cash wheat, and
report that England had modified 10000
troops for use in Egypt. The close at O'Clock
was strong at the outside figures. To-
morrOw's receipts are estimated at ITO cars.
Corn ruled very dull early IN the day, in
sympathy with wheat, though not falling be-
low the opening, which was at an advance
over yesterdays closing Of sc all around.
The later Improvement in wheat had
STRENGTHENING influence on corn and advanced
long futures. No. cash was quoteu honi-
nalIy at 361zc. TO-mOrrOW's receipts are estl-
mated at 47O cars. oats continued quiet, with
very little doing in speculative way, the
fluctuations in the faYOrite future being con-
fined to &c. $50 cars are expected to- morrow.
Provisions opened a shade higher IN response
To a little better market at the yard, but soon
became fiat and lifeless, continuing so until
well on toward the close, when they became
more active and 1rmer. All fluctuations were
confined to narrow limits; cash quotations
were nOminally the same as February; little
was done except IN futures. The close OF the
morning session was about steady.
Flour steady and unchanged. Wheat active
and higher; ruli"g unsettled early ana strong
later owing t. she reports OF bad weather,
but in the main to speculative influence;
sales ranged February delivery HgfS9sc'
