 Chicago, Feb 19.-Little else but war re- ceived consideration in the wheat market today The Grecan-Turkish troubles were apparently in ali acute condition and prices of wheat received stimulation thercIfoln. Although-the pool displayed little II any concern over the situation, this market was governed by the affairs in the east, as the prospect that general hostilities would be precipitated was thought to be the session was near the close when press dispatch to the effect that an ar tllery battle had been fought was received The market began firm and ended strong, a net gain of l cent being established for the day. May wheat opened from 15B B.,i 10 lie higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was firm and l5dl1c higher
 Corn derived strength and f1rmness rom wheat A fair trade was noted, speeua- tion beginning to show some little activity. Prices advanced fractionally and held the gain steadily, May, corn opened at 245%e, 5i,, sold at 24c, advanced to and closed at 244 @243sc-Ac higher than yesterday. CaSh corn was steady. closing hc higher with inc futures.
 The strength of wheat and corn imparted firmness to oats and encouraged some buy ing The business was moderate, no m terest attaching to it. May oats closed Ac higher Cash oats sold at steady prices and closed firm.
 Provisions-Trading in provisions was an- imated Pork was in demand, large opr- portion of the buying of that article being credited to a large packing insututon. An advance of 5010c in the live hog market was apparently the primary incentive to pur- chase May pork closed a shade higher than yesterday; May lard 5c higher and May ribs unchanged.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb 19.-Today's cotton mar ket was marked by wide and rapid tuctua- tions Liverpool this morning eabled an advance of 1-64 there and our market op- ened one point lower than last nights clos ing figures, May sell on the call at 693
 BIll manipulation and the great strength of March contracts in sympathy with the demand for spots started prices towards the higher mark, and the advance was not checked until May had touched 7.04. The enthusiasm then waned and though the bears were afraid to raid the. market IL refused to advance further together with a little uneasiness over the Greece-Turkish situation discouraged the bulls and they soon stumbled over each other in thelr ef- forts to unload their holdings New Or leans sold freely and the decline was quick CT even than the advance had been. May broke to G.91 and closed at 6.92Gl6,9S, with the tone of the market easy. For those who will take their profits when the opportu- nitv presents itself we still favor buying on all breaks.
