Chicago, Feb 1s.-Wheat was weak at
at the opening to-day, but too many per
sons enrolled themselves in the bear
ranks and therefore accomplished their
own undoing. II looked for a time as If
another break to prices was in the iinmc-
date prospective, but when the offering
has been absorbed and nothing serious
having happened, the shorts" were con-
WINGED that IL would be discreet TO buy
back their wheat. Before the close prices
had not only fully. recovered the early loss,
but had several fractions gain over Sat
urday to their credit. New York did a
fair amount Of buying to-day Partridge
was willing TO take all the May wheat for
sale at 81 cents, ana the attitude he as
sumed was doubtless the important cheek

for strength was the decrease Of 1,0S9. 900
bushels visible supply. The English WIS.,
bic supply also decreased $4,000 bushels.
The amount on ocean passage Increased
1120O0 bushels. May wheat opened from
sc to 52i4c, sold between 5l7kn52c and 52a4c,
closing at 525k0J2St c-AfJSsc higher than

40, cars, giving impress 10 the weak spots.
The opening was lower, the tone varying
during the session. but showing marked
frmness at the close. The visible supply
decreased $4,000 bushels and the amount
on ocean passage $1,000 bushels. Very
