CHICAGO. Feb. e.-The price of wheat for May
stood SIC higher at the close to-day than It did
Saturday, and 11Sc lower than the highest point

ordinarily be looked for from such news as had
then been received. IL was anywhere from 99lS
@s9Nc, or 1s@94c,. below the closing point of
Saturday. The slight reaction named was,
however, of only momentary duration, and be-
fore 20 minutes of the session had gone by the
price had advanced to 81 01s4, just enough sell
ing ut the extreme price to make quotation.
There was trading on an immense scale all over
the pit, the feeling was one of intense nervous
ness and succeeding fluctuations were frequent
and heavy; a decline to 81 00IS was succeeded
by reaction to 81 0116, and that again by a
utes from the close of the session, and excite
ment and nervousness continued to the close.
The strength in corn was due principally as was
the case in wheat, to nervousness of the shorts.
From $3.50 at the start May corn made q quick
advance to sic, chiefly under Hutchinson's
efforts TO buy, and then subsidized to around
5SS4c, when he had desisted. The oats market
was very active and at times greatly excited.
The crowd was bullish, although news was OF
a bearish nature. The provision market was
irresponsible to the excitement and advance in
prices OF grain. Trade was rather dull aud the
feature OF it was the desire of the longs to sell
out, with no buyers, apparently, but packers,
who were short.
