Chicago Feb. 4.-The two extremes,
strength and weakness, were present at
different times in the wheat market dur
ing tO-day's session. In the morning the
tone was exceptionally strong, and it
was difficult matter to solve why 1t was.
An oversold condition of the market was
doubtless the real cause of strength. At
ter noon prices broke away rapidly In
explanation, in which it was claimed that
the advance being unnatural, the decline
merely righted matters. May wheat op>
ened from 6Gasc to 661ac sold between 67Ss
@of2c and 66Ac, closing at the inside-3sc
under yesterday. Cash wheat was about
steady.
Corn was moved altogether by sympa-
thy with wheat. When that grain ad-
Fanced, prices in this market rose, and
Wnen the sharp break was inaugurated,
corn lost all Its previous movement Moth
ing new in the situation was reported, the
trade continuing to look for moderate ar
rivals until the roads are in a better con-
dluon. May corn opened at 30Isc, sold be-
tween 3J$sc and soc. closing at the inside
tsc under yesterday. Cash corn was quiet
and steady
Oats were dull, but iointed wheat and
corn IN the early advances, later declin-
ing, There was nothing interesting or es-
peciaIly entitled to mention in the trade.
May oats closed a shade under yester-
Gay. Cash oats were steady.
ffoVlsions-The hog market, after OPP
ehlng firm and higher, later became weak,
IN sympathy with the latter but SUISSE
quently ruled steady. Packers sold lib
eIally and commission men reported many
o4lslGe Duylng orders. May pork and May
dIDS each closed a shade under yesterday
ana May lard unchanged. Domestic mar
Kgts were quiet and steady.
Ledulng futures ranged as follows:
W., opening. Highest. Lowest Closing.
