Chicago, March 1.-Wheat bulls were in the
ascendency to day. and bears showed a cor
responding amount of disappointment Every
scrap OF news that came in. infused new
strength into prices, and intamed the ardor
of buyers. Eastern markets, particularly
New York, were opponents of the advance to-
day, and questioned the correctness of the
bullish advices. They also sent selling orders
but local operators bought freely,
and the northwest helped very ma.
terially May opened 189Ac higher
than it closed yesterday at 59s,c,
sold between 6O%c and 59pa6595sc, closing
with net gain for the day Of sake, at 6O4c.

Business was excee iingly light, and traders
kept their eve on wheat for Inspiration. The
opening was a shade better than yesterday

l-loc) higher than YESTERDAY ash corn was
in fair demand. Prices were firm, but with
out special change. Oats were in sympathy
With wheat and corn. and we're OF
course, firm. May closed &c higher
than yesterday. Cash oats were trmer
and q shade better. Provisions was
an excess Of o. 900 hogs over the number ex-
pected at the yards this morning, and prices
were naturally lower. Products subsequently
opened weak and lower ruling so throughout
the entire session. A total lack OF support
was evident, and although a feeble reaction
took place in response to the strength OF
wheat, yet the undertone was visibly weak
