CHICAGO, Feb. L. Wheat opened weak and
sllgbJ Jly lover this morning, and the news
was nearly all of bearishquality, many traders
looked for a sharp break. Cables were weak
with Liverpool depressed and Id lower. DOmes-
tic markets were heavy and tending downward
Receipts in the northwest were larger aud for
eigners were free sellers at the seaboard. The
market, however, was very steady fora consd-
cradle part Of the forenoon in the neighborhood
oi the slight opening reduction in values being
Susta ned by an Unexpectedly good demand.
PSSrdtrldge pSrdt Ill was a heavy buyer: taking
offered at 90c; commission houses also
had buying orders at that figure; the scalping
crowd tailed on and sellers were soon bailed
out The cold wave was reported as threaten
ing the winter wheat belt west of the Mis- ssissippi
river, and as they have had recent liberal rains
there aud the wheat plant Is exposed, fears
were telt that a short freeze would do material
injury. This helped to develop considerable
strength and there was gradual upward turn
May started at 90c against 9014c at the close
Saturday; touched S97sc, advanced to 9034c
broke to 9OAc and CLOSED at 9Okc- Corn was

generous The wet weather in the
southwest was rather strong factor
as was the strength in wheat May opened

adVancedto 4l3Sc, then grew quiet and easy aud
closed at 4lc Oats were without feature.
Hog products opened lower. Receipts of live
hogs at the yards were 5000 head or 5000 lead
over the estimates, and prices were quoted 1Oc
lower. Products sympathized with the hog
market in the early trading, then there we're
several little rallies and recessons, and the
