CHICAGO. February "a quiet session
succeeded the excitement OF the previous
dav but prices were more susceptible to
news influences and were free from The
agitation caused by abnormally heavy in
dividual trading. The influences were the
cold weather and good inquiry for cash
wheat on the one hand, with dull markets
abroad and small export clearances. Or
ders from outside were scarce and the
home talent was more disposed to study
the situation than TO make fresh ventures.
There were sellers OF May wheat in abund-
ance at 81 OF Il as soon as trading started,
which ran the price down 10 81 OO&. The
price kept within the range OF ggHc and
