GrnIn I.ettrr,


F. q. McPeak & Co.'S letter from
Lamson Bros. Il Co. says
Chicago. H.. Feb. 25-Main part OF
the session, the visible supply appeared
to have controlled wheat. on Saturday
but 100000 bushels decrease was looked
for, but as the returns began to come
In this morning 1t soon became evident
that the decrease would be double that
amount. and from the weak opening
on the slightly lower English cables
and heavy northwest receipts market
tlrmed up, advancing 1-2c from the low
point Paris continues to report firm
markets; their cables were 10 centimes
higher on passage wheat increased
10000 and English visible increased
10000. two very weak features which
failed TO have any effect on the market
The foreign cables came In firm and
higher al the close. our visible de-
creased i,25IOO0 bushels Total clear
nnces $4,000 bushels wheat and -four.
Scalpers and shorts sold corn at the
opening, receipts were some under
| estimates commission houses had good
| outside buying orders aud the market
ruled firm and higher showing but
| temporary weakness on the increase of
| 3lS. 900 bushels I'm the visible supply.
Advice9 say country receipts are brcnk-
| ing up and that there will be q long
| period of small country movement.
| On passage corn decreases $4,000 bush
| els In spite Of the excessive receipts
| of hogs, speculative futures have ruled
| firm and higher, though extremely dul
at times. The advance was started by
| the purchase OF 1000 to 5000 barrels OF
| pork by commission house. Packers
were Identified on the buying side
