CHICAGO, Feb 23-Markets on Change
started in fairly active to-day with prices weak
and tending downward. The greatest depres-
sion in all pits occurred before II a. m when
May pork sold at S13 80, lard at So s2l6 wheat
at 1870, and corn at 50Ssc At noon there was
a slight reaction, with pork at Sl4, wheat SO1sc
corn 505sc The lowest points touched com.
pared with Tuesdays closing, showed pork
221sc, wheat 5E0lc, and corn lc lower. There
was general dizziness after the first hour of
trading In wheat the depression was caused
by mild weather, and the selling OF quite a lot
OF long wheat, aud the reaction by the purchase
OF nearly f,OOO,OJO bushels by a single house
Corn was also affected by mild weather which
was freely used as IL bear argument; receipts
too, were fairly large. and are expected to be
still larger tomorrow. oats were easier in
fuenced largely by the weakness Of other
cereals. Provisions were moderately active
early, but late IA tho day became dull The
same bear party who have been hammeriug the
market for several weeks resumed their usual
tactics and sold tuc product more freely than
buyers were able ~ take IL. weak aud unset
tied feeling developed aud prices on ALI sp.,,t.
