| Wheat Doomed by a Cold Wave.
CHICAGo-Wheat-A fair business was trans
acted, and the feeling developed was firm and
with a stronger undertone to the market
Fluctuations were slight, and confined within
| Nc range.
I The firmuess was attributed to colder weather
with fears Of damage to the growing crop,
| which in some cases is reported to be in an un.
| usually advanced growth for this season of the
year. The export clearances, too were fairly
large. The receipts for the week at the princi.
pal receiving points were about the same as
last week, and, with exports larger it is fair to
presume that the visible supply will show a
decrease estimated at from 100000 to 600, 600
bushels.
Corn received moderate attention, trading
being fairly active within narrow limits, and
the feeling developed on the whole was steady.
The influences on the market were much the
same as of late, and no new feature was pre-
sented. The market opened at about yester-
days closing prices, was easy for a time, be-
came firmer, and closed tri1e easier than yes
terday. "
Oats-There was more trade, and quiet and
easy feeling prevailed. Receiving houses were
free sellers of May, July sold at 10 decline,
with very little trading.
Mess Pork-Trading was quite active. and
the market in general way. exhibited consid-
cradle strength. Local operators purchased to
some extent, and shorts provided for few CON-
tracts. Prices were advanced 100125<c on the
whole range, and the advance was moderately
well supported.
Lard-only fair business was transacted.
and the feeling was steadier. Prices were a
little more. favorable to sellers, though no
material change was noticed.

and ch1eny on local account. Prices advanced
2HQ5c, and the Improvement was fairly well
supported.
