CHICAGO. Feb. ia nervous, unsettled feel
ing existed to-day in wheat. Trading was fairly
active but spasmodlc The governing power no
doubt was local speculation. The opening for

Irregular and closed 116c higher than yesterday.

change to colder weather and on a reported
decrease OF wheat on ocean passage; but the
market adviceS were of an unfavorable tenor.
Soon after the opening it was discovered that
there was a fair quantity Of wheat on the
market and upon an effort being made to SELL
prices quickly declined. Then, when parties
who sold early, undertook to get their wheat
back, they found offerings light and the market
quickly responded to the demand in the sharp
advance noted. The improvement was helped
some by report that some wheat has been
taken at New York for Glasgow, and that III re
was better demand for cargoeS of California
wheat. There was a fair business in corn, trad
ing being more general than of late. The feel
ing developed weaker aud lower range of
prices was established. Oats were fairly active
and weaker. suffering adeclne of nave, and

ness was done in hog products, and a steadIer
