Grain mud Provisions.

=
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. lS.-Grain started In
weak and lower and provisions strong and
higher on change today. Speculation was
about at a standstill during the first hour,
but there was a general waking up about the
close OF the hour, when n prominent opera
tor appeared. In the wheat pit aud began
bidding. His bidding entirely changed the
sentiment, for II developed the fact that
nearly everybody was short. The operator
mentioned bought wheat pcrsistently all
day. This kept prices up pretty well, as the
wheat. May reached size before the adj
vance was stopped and finally closed at Sic.
Corn developed nearly the same condi-
tOns as In wheat. May opened lIc lower at
Ole, aud saggcd of 20 JOhc. When wheat
started up the largo number Of shorts COM
menccd 10 cover, and they speedily rushed
the price up 10 6lAsc. Trading was quite
heavy during the balance OF the session, the
big houses being ON one side or the other,
and most OF them on both May advanced
10 81 &c, but toward noon the shorts having
cyened up, III ere was reaction, and May
closed the day at 81 Nc.
Oats were good, strong market today.
Speculation was based on the condition 81
the other grain markets, and rs these werK
strong oats responded 10 hrinness, and some
advance. May opened nj 3lRc, and closed
~ the highest ngurc oi the dnY-Jl istd3l nc.
Provisions were active for Saturday, and a
stronger feeling developed, prices ON all
speculative articles averaging higher and
closing at nearly the outside Of the day,
showing net advances over Yesterdays close
