CHICAGO Feb. 1s.-In wheat there was less
doing and a more quiet feeling existed in this
market. There were fewer outside orders, aud
also 8 less disposition on the part of local oper-
ators to trade While trading of a re-
Stricted character, there was notceably less
disposition to force lower prices at the risk of
putting out fresh lines of short wheat at the
same time. When higher prices were reached
there was enough wheat placed on sale to pre-
vent further advance, but at the closing de-
noted a rather strong feeling. The opening
was about I4c lower than yesterday, advanced
4@Ssc, reacted ssO15c, advanced sc. and
closed a shade better than yesterday. Corn was
traded in to a fair extent, the market at times
being quite active. The prevailing feeling early
in the day was easy, but later better tone was
manifested. The market early sympathized
with wheat some, and later the smaller est-
mated arrivals for tomorrow had strengthen
ing tendency. May and July were the favorite
months. The market opened at yesterdays
closing prices, was easy for time selling off
some, rallied and advanced 403sc, ruled steady
and closed 1SQD14c better than yesterday There
was large business ia May oats early, but only
a moderate trade in other deliveries. Tue
opening was rather stronger, first sales for May
being at the same as yesterdays close. A
fractional advance was recorded, but it only
lasted short time Later a weak feeling de
veloped and prices receded A0ssc, and prices
closed the same as yesterday. Only moderate
activity was shown in the pork market, it being
at times dull. Prices held steady and firm after
the temporary weakness early outside figures
ruling at the close. In lard the market was
pervaded by general weakness, and deliveries
beyond March closed 21hc lower. Trading was
only of a moderate volume, and the close was
dull and heavy. There was fair trading in short
ribs, but the market closed dull and barely
steady. with May a shade lower
