CHICAGO. Feb. 2O.-The leading articles in
to-day's markets were IN q general way
steady, but not heavily traded in, and ruled
quite teatureless. The receipts were slightly
better, while cable advices showed no par
ticular change. Very few outside orders
came in. Wheat opened steady but quiet
under an unusual dearth of features; as on
yesterday, local interests tried to hold the
market, but 1t sagged of &c, later recovering
on liberal buying by home parties; the entire
movement on the morning session was only
&c. Corn was quOtably firm and steady at a
slightly higher range of figures, but as usual
the market was featureless and only received
moderate attention from the regular local
traders. Oats continue very quiet and fea-
tureless IN the Immediate nelghborhOOd of Bic
for May delivery; there is practically nothing
doing in any other future, and but little in
this. Provisions ruled fractionallv lower and
featureless, and were rather lightly traded
in; there was weak spot at the opening,
when May pork dropped rapidly from Sl3 70
down to SlS l213, but it soon recovered, and
during the bulk OF the morning session ranged
between Sl3 Is and $l3 20; the packing inter
ests are out of the market, and spectators
seeing no profit in either side let the deal
alone.
