| CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The leading articles were
! rather improved during the better portion Of
| the morning session, tirmer cables and out
| side advices bringing out liberal buyers on
| investment account, and more or less short
| covering. The wheat feeling is considerably
| stronger, though outside prices are not quite
| sustained. The close was steady and mode
| rately firm. Wheat opened steady at the
| closing prices, but during the early hours re-
| acted &c. Later there was an irregular adj
| vance of lC, though only &c of it was sus-
| tanned. The bulls used several arguments,
| among which reports of freezing weather in
| the Southwest, and probabilities of political
| complications arising from the unsettled con-
| dItion of Eastern affairs. The most effective
| weapon of the local bears was a report that
! this weeks visible supply would show an in
crease Of $500 bushels. Towards l O'Clock
the tone was less firm than formerly, shorts
| having covered early and few, if any, buy ing
| orders coming in. The close of the morning
| session was about steady. Corn opened rela-
| lively stronger than wheat, and ~ higher for
| near deliveries. Subsequent fluctuations were
| confined to &c. The market was steady, and
| trade rather below the average. All through
| the morning session corn took its cue from
| provisions, and wheat tluctuating with them
| though not to as great an extent. No. cash
| was called normally at 3714c. The close of the
| morning session was quiet and about steady.
| Oats were moderately active, and showed
| quite a steady advance of &c, owing to short
| covering, May option being about the only
| one traded in. The close was steady. Provis-
| ions were generally improved and higher all
! through the list until well along towards the
| close of the morning session, when there was
| a slight reaction, in eympathy with an easy
| feeling in other markets and a reaction from
| the previous higher prices. Little was done in
| cash, the quotations being nOminally the same
| as FEBRUARY. A pOTblO0 Oh lu6 SLr6nELl IN
this pit was reflection Of better prices and
| more promising conditions at the yards. The
| close at O'Clock was steady at a reaction of
| 1000 from the top prices.
