Chicago. FEB. 20.-wheat had quite
satisfactory tone to-day, the bulls deriv-
ing much qualification and considerable
profit from the action of the market.
Partridge was said to have sold at and
around bottom and to have bought the
wheat back when the major portion of the
days gain had been made. The greatest
activity was seen during the last hour,
previous to that time no trading of con-
sequence having taken place. Commits
sion houses We're doing practically moth
ing the scalpers keeping the market
from degenerating into absolute lifeless-
ness. The start was weak on the north
west cars, which were again large 42O
coming in. They were lost sight of later
in the talk OF financial Improvement the
Senate's inability to reach a vote on the
silver bill and the London subscription
of heavy purchases of cash wheat in the
northwest by Minneapolis millers, which
from 52i2c TO 529sd52l2c, sold between 52@sc
and sac. closing a j31sd53Ac SsMs4c
higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was
nc per bushel higher.
Corn-Very few outside orders We're re-
ceived in corn to-day, but prices OBJ
tanned advantage from the strength and
rise in wheat. There was no alteration
in the situation and the news was unim-
portant. May corn opened at 44ssc sold
between 44AmH2sc and 4f2t T442sc. closing
at the outside, re higher than yesterday.
Cash corn was strong and nc higher than
yesterday.
Oats-T'he activity in oats was alto
gether of a negative kind. The pit was
frequently deserted and even at best the
transactions were insignificant. The tone
was identical with wheat and corn MAY
closed &c higher than yesterday. Cash
oats were firm and A01ac higher than
yesterday.
Provisions-The run of hogs to-day and
the outlook for tomorrow we're discour-
aging to holders of product. and under
the depression reported at the yards this
market eased off and closed SC under yes
terday for May pork and 2i5d5c love-
than that days final figures for May lard
and ribs. Domestic markets were easy.
