CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Wheat showed consid
erable strength today, and closed at an ad
vance of s4c. Cable news was not encourag
ing, as Liverpool and London were both
lower. But the offerings were light ana the
general outlook for the wheat situation in
the world at large was regarded as rather
bullish. The decrease in the available sup
ply as reported by Bradstreets was large,
amounting 10 1,249, COO bu last week, and was
regarded as strong factor, while there was
also some talk of cold wave in the West.
Logan. Schwartz -Dupee and other prominent
houses had good buying orders. and there
was little offered, but a strong feeling ruled,
though without any excitement. The trade,
in fact was not large or animated at any
time.
The proposed measures for the suppression
OF puts and calls elected much discussion,
and possibly interfered considerably with the
regular business. During the last hour fur
ther reports OF weather unfavorable for the
winter wheat crop made shorts uneasy, and
they proceeded to cover adding to the
strength of the market. May opened at
92lsc, advanced gradually to 93c, weakened
to 92asc, rallied TO 93c again, held steady for
time, then went to 93ssc. weakened some and
closed steady at 93c, against 9214c at the close
yesterday.
Corn was more active and strong: the bet
