| CHICAGO. Feb. rs Trading in wheat was of
| a rather limited character to dav, and the
| market ruled quiet at times and at times was
| very duh. Outside news was scarce and there
/ was but little on which to base operations the
| market opened from the same to &c over the
| closing figures of yesterday, then declined Nc
| under fair offerings and a possible attempt to
| bear the market. but offerings were taken with
| out much OF break in prices and tins started
| shorts to covering, some of the buying being
| done by parties who sold early, ana prices witt
| several fluctuations, advanced nc declined 34c
| and closed &c higher than yesterday. Foreign
| advlces were less favorable. AdviCes from the
| northwest report stocks in the country eleva-
| tors as having decreased 100000 to 1000, 900
| bushels since February. and that stocks are now
| down to about 100000 bushels There was
| rather more interest manifested in corn trad
| ing being quite active, and higher range of
| prices was established. The advance was at
| tributed mainly to covering by shorts " and
| drew out good many orders, and the market
| was active at times. Opening sales were at
| about the closing prices of yesterday. after
| which the market gradually advanced 3Sdtc
| became quiet and steady, eased off some and
| closed 140sSc higher than yesterday. Oats wers
| quiet and rather in rut. Fluctuations were con
| fined to 54c range. Continued liberal receipts
| in hogs, etc, made rather free offerings of the
| products early in the day, and the market ruled
| weak during the greater portion of the session.
| Local buyers we're little backward about tax
| ing hold, and outside orders were somewhat
| limited Prices ruled lower on all leading
| articles, with trading centered in contracts for
| May, June and July deliveries
