REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MARKET.
CHICAGO, February l6.-There was mod
eIately active speculative trade In wheat
to-day, but the tendency during the greater

cables noted little better inquiry at Liver
pool. The market opened at Sane. for May
broke to e351c. but, the demand continuing
good, rallied to 81 7-l6c., closing at r. VI.
at that rgure. The receipts were lighter
again, with shipments q little larger. In
the afternoon the feeling was again easier.
May closing at sac. bid. The speculative
market for corn was active and values
stronger. May advancing TO 4l1sc. on the
