CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.--The greater part of the
day the markets on Change were dull and
featureless. Wheat opened q little stronger, but
the market sagged back almost to the opening
point, and laid dormant till near the close Of the
session. when it picked mp considerable strength
from news OF an export movement at New
York. There was considerable covering by
shorts" May wheat opened &c higher than
yesterdays close, and in the course of the
day gained the other &c. Receipts Of wheat for
the week at twelve principal points are 1,039,000
bu, against l. $4,000 for last week; and the ship
ments were 920, 600 bu, against 604 900 bu for
the week preceding Corn was dull and feature
less throughout the entire session, and the total
range for the day was within sc of the opening.
Oats were very quiet prices fuctuated but very
little. In provisions the start.off in the morn
ing gave very promising outlook for the bulls"
but the only advance gained was the practical
strength derived from the light receipts of hogs
at the yards. The effect of this had disappeared
half an hour after the opening and the pit be-
came almost deserted, when wheat took an up
ward turn, and the crowd got back into the pit,
but the figures failed to move one way the
other.
