CHICAGO. Feb. 1T was day Of surprises in
the wheat pit. May is &c higher than the close
of Saturday. The market opened fairly steady
followed in few minutes by decided weakness.
The chief disturbing factor to holders near the
opening was the heavy receipts at primary mar
kets. Cautious local spectators were indis-
posed to sell short after a weeks decline, az
gregating sc per busnel, and easily persuaded
themselves, when prices began to recover, that
the least dangerous operation was TO buy for a
turn, and price advanced to 975s09Sc for May,
followed by a rapid decline, commencing after
the visible supply was posted, and 985sc was
reached, with every appearance of further
break, when it was whispered around that l. "
erpool stocks had decreased 5000 bushels in
a week, aud the crowd, having sold itself short
again became alarmed, and in their efforts to
clear themselves the price shot to 975sc in five
minutes The opening strength of wheat made
first trades in corn close to the last quotations
of Saturday. The market soon became weak,
and when receipts for Tomorrow were esti
mated at AS cars the market lost all rallying
power and was upheld only by covering pur-
chases by those previously short as prices grad
ually shrank. The lowest price on the decline
was 1880, and at the close sellers were offering
at 525s or 52Ssc lower than on Saturday. Oats
attracted comparatively little attention, the
market being rather dull, with moderate trading
in all active futures. The provision trade was
which was the number early advices from the
stock yards announced. Later receipts were
even further increased 1000. There was a rush
to sell at the opening, pork standing l5c under
Saturdays closing figures, and lard and ribs at
a decline Of 10c. These prices were too tempt
ing to be resisted by the shorts and conse-
Quently there was a rally and steadier feeling
after the first few minutes, and in the course Of
the day a recovery, which left loss to specula-
tive misunderstanding it by the closing prices
OF to-day and Saturday, only 215c on pork, sc
on lard and nc on ribs. Estimates of receipts
of hogs for tomorrow are as 900
