Chicago, Feb. I.-Measured by range of
prices, wheat had a quiet session to-day.
There was covering of short sales go

SIGNALS buying quite a great deal without
had the reputation of leading in selling at
the opening and St. Louis was a good
second The visible supply decreased
about as expected, 1.054.OO0 bushels, being
checked off. This leaves stocks at S2,322,
600 bushels. AT the corresponding time in
1894 they were 79.6O9,OO0 bushels and in 1898,
100000 bushels. Much is set by the
fact that the invisible supply is consider
ed to be in the neighborhood of 100000
bushels less than year ago and the Wis
ible but 1880 greater. The bulls are be-
ginning to rely on these statistics for their
ammunition now and If any movement in

with its immediate enlargement of receipts
deprived corn of its snap and induced sell
ing of that grain to-day. The wheat mar

ness, taken as a whole, was not partlc-
ularly light, neither was the volume to be
noted for it's enormity. May opened from
443zc to 44ssc, declined TO H1kGI44Mc, partial

under Saturday. Cash corn was re to &c
per bushel lower.
Oats moved in which ever direction other
grains did. Quotations were under those
of Saturday, at all time trading being to-
tally barren of interest or feature. The
close was kGikc under Saturday. Cash
oats were traded in at decline from Satur-
day.
Professionalism the bres king up Of the
severe climatic conditions which have been
prevalent recently, the live hog receipts
began to increase to-day. The enormous
arrivals to-day at the stock yards could
have but one resuit--a heavy decline in
values. Product was disastrously weak.
The packers however, came to the sup
port of the market, their buying not only
preventing prices from going to pieces. but
actually bringing about sharp advance
in pork and ribs. Lard recovered the ear
" loss and afterwards held steady. Do
