Chicago, Ill., Feb 2S-St Louis led the advance in wheat today, the market at this place deferring to the more pronounced strength coming from that quarter. The of prices following, but soon strength be- came prominent and prices advanced, hold ing the gain The bulls exhibited dispos- tion to press every advantage, whilst on the other hand the short sellers were in clined to keep out of the market, or else to help along the boom. May wheat opened at 67A to 67asc, sold between 667s and 6SBc, closing at 67Ac, 9sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was 1c higher.
 Corn-Nothing of real interest in corn de- veloped today. The rise in wheat natural- ly tended to assist prices in this grain, but only moderate firmness prevailed. The ear ly ease in foreign wheat was followed with more alactrity than the later advancing tendency, but was of a minor character, no transactions of more than an ordinary kind taking place. May corn opened at 3OAc. sold between 30AM307s and 3O1aQ309sc, clos ing at 3GAc, a shade higher than yesterday. Cash corn was firm and A@Rc per bushel higher.
 Oats-Dullness was the conspicuous fea- ture of the oats market. The movement of prices was slow the lead of wheat and corn being followed in all cases. May oats closed a shade higher than yesterday. Cash oats were Ac higher.
 ions declined, but subsequently, the feeling became steadier and portion of the loss was recovered. The weakness came from the yards, where hogs were again in excess of expectations and prices lower. Business attracted no particular attention, nothing extraordinary taking place. At the close May pork was 5c lower, May lard Dc lower and May ribs a shade lower. Domestic and foreign markets were quiet and steady.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:
