CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHIC&GO ILL, February 2G.-The
| bull-fever in wheat was subjected TO some
| abatement overnight, and today prices
| were at all times below the closing ones
! OF yesterday. As the advance was oryi-
naliy due 20 I.iverpoors strength, so the
| decline was traceabe to the weakness OF
! that market. The morning cables showed
only an Indifferent response 10 the Doom
| of Yesterday. and when the crowd consii-
! cred the hne weather, and the large
| Northwestern receipts In connection
- a. faff IfgrnGpI
| some of the wheat bought on the Impulse

/ corn was steady.
| Oats.-The losses In other grains had a
| sympathetic effect on oats. Business was
/ slow and inactive. and operators found
| little opportunity for action either way.
| May closed &c under yesterday.
/ Proysoga-The same story as ycster-
/ day can be repeated on product. Hogs
/ were lower, and that naturally depressed
/ the tone In provisions. II is reported that
| the consumption of hog meats shows a
marked falling off, and this is quoted in
/ explanation Of the heavy feeling in the
market. At the close May pork was 2lsH
