Chicago FEB. 2s-A cable item which ap-
peared in he afternoon papers of yesterday
giving an account OF a trivial engagement
between Russian and German soldiers some
where on the frontier, was converted into a
full sized war scare on the curb last night
and prices for wheat were advanced Ja34 OF
a cent from the closing figures on 1t. The
opening OF the wheat market this morning
saw considerable portion Of the advance
sustained, but with the war talk abandoned.
Business was not particularly large or con
splcious. There was substantial proof that
foreigners we're giving up some property
,tage until the receipt of Bradstreet's
report Of stocks, showing a net Increase in
the world visible supply Of l,S97OO bushels.
When the statement became generally known
there was freesr selling aud resultant de-
cline to the lowest point OF the day from
where there was a fractional reaction, but
the close was a net loss Of Nc. from yester
day. The range on May was between 60@c.
and 5911c. and the close 591ae Corn Travelled In
a very narrow Tut - Jay AS far as could be
judged the feeling was similar to that which
prevailed in wheat The opening was a
little higher than yesterday S close,
declined a trihe, rallied bG4c., again
becoming easy and closing a shade
beJt6I tudu N6Sl6Iudy. Odls were quiet
and almost inactive. The range OF prices was
within 1s OF cent. and the close that much
higher than yesterday. Provisions opened
firm and higher, and continued so through
most of the session. on advances in prices for
live hogs. The demand for the live animal at
the yards was reported to be particularly
good. When wheat became easier during the
latter part Of the session, it became evident
that there was no support to product. hence
val es receded. At the close, May pork was
PIC lower than yesterday; May lard un-
changed, and May ribs 5071ac lower.
