Chicago. Feb. 26-Wheat moved sky
ward to-day the greatest momentum be
ing obtained during the last hour after
the crowd had about given up hope OF
particularly important good resulting from
Bradstreets report of a decrease of 4,411,-
600 bushels In the worlds available stocks,
and when number of them had sold
out their wheat in disgust The news of
a bullish kind overbalanced the bearish
very materially, but despite extraordi-
nary efforts on the part OF buyers, the
market failed 10 advance with anything
like celebrity during the morning. The first
announcement of an encouraging color
supply statement to show a decrease of
300 600 bushels instead of an increase OF
$50 900 bushels, as given out yesterday.
Then the Liverpool cables came in, with
a slight advance, followed by the report
of Baltic and Indian shipments of but
!, 752. 900 bushels which added to the 100000
bushels cleared from America ldSL week,
made up only one-half the amount sup
posed to be required by importing coun-
tries Liberal sales of cash wheat at Min
neapolis were heard Of, which helped along
the buying inclnations here. May wheat
opened at 533kc sold between 53j4c and
542kc closing at d54Hc-1Mlisc higher
than yesterday. Sales of cash wheat
ranged from IMibc higher than yesterday.
The nominal closing bid fc higher
Corn lacked much of the strength that
perVaded the market yesterday, although
the pronounced strength of wheat sue
ceeded i'm preventing prices from going
lower The business was mainly local and
place and commission houses reporting
dea nth of outside orders either to buy or
hell Bradstreets gave decrease IN
stocks of 1877 00O bushels. May corn opened
at 45Mc sold between IS and 4olac, clos
ing at 453kc-Jk114c higher than yesterday.
Cash corn was Mc per bushel higher.
Oats at no time displayed activity and
were frequently at a complete standstill.
Strength came from wheat and corn and
a slight advance was scored. Bradstreet
report showed that available stocks fell
off go 900 bushels during the past week.
May closed with a gain Of 1sMhc, for the
day. and cash oats were unchanged TO
Ac higher under good demand.
ProVisions--The strength and improve
ment in grain did not receive appreciation
by product, the free and general selling
of packers holding values down. A firm
hog market at the yards was also power
less as an influence. The bulk Of the
trading took place during the morning,
the latter portion of the session being
quiet dull The close was PIC under yes
terday each for May pork, May lard and
Nav ribs Domestic markets were quiet.
LIVERPOOL was easier
