CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Wheat started weak with
MAJ q cent lower at g. cents. Liverpool was
quoted dull and "a cent lower, and private
cables Were even more discOuraging. The
southwestern receipts, too, were heavier than
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
204 cars as compared with l40 year ago. The
export clearances were again light.
The selling became rather free. and prices
slid down easily until near the close, when
May reached 6S4 cents. A fair demand at that
figure was developed, and prices were steady
at the decline for a time. Then there came a
bullish piece of news in the reported anticipa-
tion of a heavy rainstorm in the winter wheat
belt. Following the dampness, it was stated
a severe freeze would occur, and the prospect
of a damage to crops started an advance.
Prices went up with more alacrity than they
had shown at any previous time in the session.
and May closed firm but Is cent from the days
top figures. May opened at GA cents, declined
u cent. and advanced II cent to the close at
6414 cents.
Corn was moderately active at times. though
most of the session was quiet, fluctuations
keeping within ID cent limit. The feeling dis
played was easy, and prices reached a still
lower level. The increase in the receipts was
the principal influence in depressing the mar
ket, though the selling for country account
was another factor, which aided the decline.
opening trades were at Yesterdays closing
figures, and under fair offerings sold down ID
cent, rallied "a cent and again declined ruled
firm. advanced n cent, with wheat. and closed
with May at the top figures.
The oats market was moderately active and
easy early, in sympathy with wheat but with
the late strength in wheat prices advanced a
cent, and closed quiet, at fraction better
than yesterday, with May at the top figures
of the day.
The provision market opened firm and un-
changed on lighter run of live hogs at the
yards than expected and with higher
prices for them early in the day. The weak
ness in grain was responsible for moderate
break, in the absence of any support, in lard
The filling If ali order for pork, however, sent
that product up again to a limited extent.
The volume of trading was extremely light.
On the report that the early advance in hogs
was lost and on somewhat free offerings prices
for pork were driven down, and both lard and
ribs were scattered down in sympathy. but
only to a moderate extent. A reaction set in
subsequently, on little buying with part of
the loss recovered, but the market sold off
nearly to the inside price of the day. just at
the close, with ribs firm. Compared with last
night May pork is 12ls cents lower; May lard
10 cents lower, and May ribs 71a cents lower.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat
Il cars. Corn, 4S7 cars. Oats, Sc cars. Hogs,
