CHICAGO. February 29.--Wheat opened duh,
but at an advance Of Sc. above the closing
figures OF Saturday, and tho market was in-
clined 20 weakness for a time. The higher OPP
lions were attributed chiefly to the cold wave In
tho Northwest. There was free selling for
time. with a sagging market, which carried
prices down 10 Saturdays last figures. But the
decline left good profit for some OF tho recent
short sellers, and there was pretty general I'M
pulse 90 cover, under which there was some
restoration OF confidence, and prices gradually
went up r cent from the low point. Good buying
orders for New York account appeared In tho
advance. but perhaps the strongest factor WAS
the unexpected result IN the visible supply
statement, which instead OF an Increase scored
a decrease. The later private cables were
also more assuring and domestic markets
turned stronger. Corn was inclined TO 90
stronger on tho poor grading OF the
receipts and the wet weather, which tends 70
continue that state OF affairs. The nrmer tone
in wheat In the middle Of the session also helped
corn, but later when wheat broke corn was SYM
pathetically affected. May opened isc. up &C
42Lc., touched 42c., advanced TO 42lsc., weak
ened, and closed 42lsc. Oats quiet but rather
firm. There was less selling pressure, and
good demand 90 cover shorts, but tho market
weakened with other grains near the close AMI
closed &C. under Saturdays last ngures- Hog
products were stronger with a fair local demand.
Tho receipts OF hogs were about as expected,
but prices az the yards were with shippers ac-
tive buyers. Prices for the product were At
fected somewhat sympatheticaiy 10y the nuctue-
tons in grains, but the close showed advances,
particu irly In pork, which Is up l2lac.
