General Markets.
CHICAGO February ya-The last day of the
month found the condition of trade on Change
slow and grain and provision markets steady
and lifeless. In all of the grain pits prices be-
fore III o'clock were above and below the clos
ing prices of yesterday Local receipts OF wheat
were larger than the estimate, ami there was
a very large increase in the amount OF wheat
on ocean passage. These were their arguments,
while the decrease of wheat in sight and steady
cables were in bulls favor. There was little
of local interest in the market, and outside
trading was light.
Light receipts of corn were sufficient TO keep
this market firm throughout the session Pho
fessionai buying of that grain is said 10 be by
strong parties. and some buying was noticed
by commission houses with country clientage.
| Hutchinson was selling corn, but traders
thought his sales were rather for the purpose
of breaking the market. Trade was active
the session was very light. May corn opened
at sos advanced TO 5iA, declined again TO 81
