CHICAGO. March 1.-THE bears were on top
IN wheat and provisions again to-day. but IN
a general way were not disposed To take much
advantage OF the situation; outside orders. on
which hinge life or inactivity, were notice.
ably missing. and this contributed largely to
the prevailing depression: outside Of the fea-
lures IN the visible supply there was little
q
snow of strength, generally accredited to an
unexpectedly light increase in the visible
supply and to bad crop reports and bull Cos
SIP; the cold snap was also supposed to have
injured winter wheat, which, il anything,
aided the firm feeling early: later reports
came IN reassuring. and the cables were very
dull at fractional declines; at the Sc advance
made during the nrst hours trading there
was liberal selling. and the tone of the market
changed to one OF quOtable weakness, falling
of rregulariy nc from the top prices; the
depression came jointly from an entire lack
Of support, with no outside orders, and down
Waru tendencies elsewhere: before the close
there was slight recovery, but the morning
session closed weak and depressed; No. 2
spring sold at 55J4G75lzc, closing at the inside
figures. Corn opened generally easier, with
Il larger increase in the visible supply than
was expected TO be shown, though 1t had no
particu ariy depressing effect; the general
tone was one OF quIetness and easiness. while
sympathetic weakness was contributed by the
wheat and provision list; trading was on a
very moderate scale: the close was dull but
about steady at decline; No. cash sold at
3d. 4oE3g5<c. closing az the bottom. Oats show
eel no life whatever IN either cash or a spccu-
lative way; seller May continues the only
future traded in; this sold at top figures early
in the day, but sagged on toward the close, no
one even wanting moderate offerings. Pro-
visions were steady and firm at the opening,
IN sympathy with the conditions ruling IN
wheat at that time, but the market soon lost
even this support and became heavy and de-
pressed. these being the prevailing features
free sellers of all kinds OF hos p Oducfs. the
packing interests leading, as on Yesterday;
no especial features we're developed, and the
close OF the morning session was very heavy
and dull at quotations.
