CHICAGO. Feb IL. The wheat market was
rather strong most Of the day. The news was
mostly oullish, and buying was at times quite
sharp, though largely professional, with outside
business slack. The anti-option bill now pend
ing in congress was less Of a factor in the trad
ing than it has been for several days past as
the board that it will not become a
law, at least in its original
form. Seabosrd and interior markets
all started higher, and for a time there was
fairly active trading here. Buying orders seemed
TO come chiefly from New York Selling ives
cautious and shorts covered pretty freely. For
time the market maintained itself stubbornly
May selling from 90940911sc. and held for a
considerable time at 9016l19lc, Then Partridge
began TO sell and seemed determined to fill the
crowd up. For time offerings were readily
absorbed, but finally the price began to yield
This was the signal for some Of the early buyers
to begin unlosding and weakness Increased
Then the crowd began to suspect that New
York had been bullng the market TO get hard
spot to sell on, and the trade began to show
nervousness, and on free offerings gradually
sold of to 901&c. During the last hour how
ever, there was a reaction and May closed
strong at 911Sc. Corn was quiet and weak The
demand was rather sluggish, and as some large
lots were thrown on the market prices yielded
some May opened &c higher at 4356c in
sympathy with the strength ia wheat because of
an advance of 14d at Liverpool, and worked
slowly down to 415Sc, assisted by large es-
timated receipts on Monday, but rallied in the
last hour with wheat and closed steady at 42Ise
Oats were duh and easy closing with loss of
&c. Receipts Of hogs were light and prices
steady. Hog products opened firm in sympathy
with wheat, and advanced slightly, then weak
ened some, and then closed with slight gains on
pork aud lard, but with ribs unchanged
