CHICAGO, Feb 15.-In wheat the feeling was
due partly TO warm and pleasant weather, con-
siderable wheat having been bought in expeota-
tion or freeze. First sales were at about &c
deduction, and prices declined 1A@1Ac more.
But stronger feeling developed, and prices
were advanced 3sO5Sc, then eased or SC un-
der large realizing huctuated some, and the
closing, was about 19c lower than yesterday.
The volume OF trading was quite large and well
scattered, a good many outside buying orders,
including some on foreign account, being re-
ceved, outside parties, who have been watch
ing the market for favorable opportunity,
showing more inclination TO invest. There no
doubt was considerable realizing by parties VINO
mad bought at lower prices yesterday and some
OF the prominent bear traders also fought
against an advance, and the feeling was unset
tied and uncertain. A Berlin dispatch was re-
ceved reporting heavy frostS in Germany and
damage to the growing crops, and this induced
some good buying, largely from "shOrts :"
which helped to force prices to the top notcn,
as did also the wheat bureau report here, which
reported cold weather in the northwest. In
corn larger volume of business was transacted
IN TINS market, the market ruling quite active
all day. The feeling early was weaker, Offer
ings being very liberal, especially OF MAY which
sold freely at 2SN lE30c-7SO,y0O bushels. A
good inquiry existed from shorts" especially
for July, around 3)b4c and 30Ac. The market
opened at 1Bc under the closing prices of yester-
day, and under free offerings sold off 81 l116c
rallied little with wheat, and closed weak and
7aG96c lower than yesterday. In oats there
was good volume of business, but il fell
slightly below that Of yesterday. The feeling
was settled, the opening being weaker and
1SG14c lower. There was free unloading By a
prominent local long" and the market for
time became very weak. Shorts bought freely
aud prices advanced 14D96c. Later in the
session the weakness in wheat and continued
unloading produced heavy feeling, and prices
receded sharply, deferred futures declining nc
from the outside figures of the morning. and
the market closed tame at inside prices, and
net decline from yesterday OF &c on May and
SO &C on June, 5sc on July, and &c on neat by
deliveries. In mess pork the speculative trading
was under the average, and the market was
weak, closing at the inside prices of the day
In lard a rather quiet trade was witnessed in all
futures, and the market was 211Gl5c lower at
