Chicago. ILL.,. Feb. 13.-A shake-out of
the long wheat took place i'm the mar
ket for that grain to-day. An effort to
boom prices was made in the early part
of the session, but it met with only in
different success, and after the first half
hour all the strength disappeared, offer
ingS becoming heavy and the demand
correspondingly light st. Louis led the
early business, but there was a DISPOSE
ton in this market to look with suspicion
on such action, and at the first evidence
of weakness a scramble to sell occurred,
values receding perceptiby. May wheat
opened from 751s to 75lac, advanced to 700
76Ac, declined to 73s4c, closed at 7S340G
737sc-1SsM1$4c under Thursday. Cash
wheat was weak and re lower.
Corn-Busness was very quiet, no
change in prices and changes in tone in
response to the wheat market. but at
the close the loss in value was made by
comparison with that of wheat. May corn
opened at 233sc, sold between 23s4 and 2f3s
Gf24iac closing at the inside. Cash corn
was easy and &c lower.
Oats-'rhe trade in oats presented no
noteworthy incident or feature. For tone,
the action of wheat was the guide. May
oats closed isc lower than Thursday. Cash
oats were weak and &c lower.
Provisions-The government report on
hogs was bullish consideration in pro-
visions, as was also a light run of hogs
this morning a the yard. The market
was fairly active, and prices averaged
considerably higher May pork closed 1212c
higher than Thursday; May lard and ribs
each 71a0l10c higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows
