SHORTS RUN TO COVER
ACTIVE TRADE IN WHEAT PIT. MAY
OPTIONS ADVANCING L Lie.
Early Tendency to Weakness Was OF
Brief Duration-AlI Lines OF
Provisions Higher.

CHICAGO, Feb. s.-It was a day of active
and wholesale covering of shorts in the
wheat pit, due to which the May option
advanced full 1Ac. The practical con-
firmation of the Argentine crop served as
the squirt to put shorts on the run. All
the otner markets were more or less in
provisions 214d12l4c.
Wheat opened with q tendency to weak
ness. due to the decline of 14d at Liverpool.
The effect of this was most apparent on
the curb, and by the time the regular mar
ket opened spectators were already look
ing toward other statistical news of de-
cidedly different tenor. The range of prices
at the opening was from 75iac to 755sc for
May. compared with yesterdays closing of
755sd754c, and inside of half an hour the
price had risen to 7634c. At the last-named
figure the offerings were heavier than the
buying orders, and downward reaction
succeeded The advance was due to the
clearances from Argentine ports for the
week, which were only 5000 blu, against
40 900 bu the week before and Ga, 900 blu the
corresponding week of last year. The un-
avoidable inference from such comparisons
is that the worst that has been told about
the crop destruction of that country is be-
ing confirmed, and that country should be
considered practically out Of the list OF ex-
porters. The Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ceiptS were 2ly cars, compared with lSS the
previous Saturday and SAG the corresponding
day of last year. Chicago received but
eighteen cars, against j26 a year ago. Inc
shorts in the market were numerous, ana
the course of the market proved that some
of them were indisposed to remain in that
position any longer. They bought with per-
sistency all day. and kept the price on the
rise. After reacting from 742ic 10 16ssc for

Corn was firm, but held within narrow
range. The receipts were smaller tnan eX-
pected, and the market got some help from
the strong tone in wheat. The speculative
business was light, no trades of consequence
being recorded. May opened unchanged AT

Provisions were firm all day. Prices were
held by the moderate receipts OF hogs and
