MARKET SUMMARY

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Everything on the floor
was strong today, wheat being the leader,
both in streng h and activity. Reports of ad-
ditional shipping engagements for Letter
wheat and an exceptionally large export bust
ness were the principal factors in a buying
movement in wheat, which had advanced
that market about a cent at the close. Corn
closed 12c higher, and oats &0Ac higher.
Provisions hesitated for time, but finally
joined The procession, and closed 212q712c
higher.
There was a big demand for wheat right
from the start May closed yesterday at $3.50,
and opened today at 971A@973sc. There was
considerable selling but the demand was 80
great that the price advanced steadily, not
stopping until CSC had been reached. There
were two big factors in the advance, the
Letter shipments abroad and the Liverpool
strength. The former was given the most
attention. 1t stated on the floor and not
denied by the Letter interests that arrange
ments are bing made for the shipment of
100000 bu of their wheat from here to the
seaboard. Contracts have already been let
for 100000 bu of this, it is said, and the
moving away of so much cash wheat had a
marked effect shorts.
Liverpool was very strong, earliest cables
showing I'D advance, and later adyices
showed that market 11sd up from yesterday.
Private cables said the strength was on con-
erpool has received but 272 coo bu in six days
not much over one-third of the weekly con-
sumptve demand. Argentine shipments for
the week were 512, coo bu, much less than
generally expected. r,hwest receipts were
1888 cars, against 432 last week. Chicago re-
ceiVCd AZ cars.
After advancing to Csc the market eased
off somewhat. There a let-up in the ur-
gent demand with the usual selling by the
people who have been playing for a break
and May reacted to 97hc. Then for an hour
the price moved between 97%c and Csc most
of the time being at about 97&4c. After that

the market again became active and very
strong.
Late cablegrams brought liberal buying
orders to the seaboard, and the announcement
of the export business gave touch of genu-
inc excitement to the market, sending shorts
to cover in a hurry, and the price was sent
up to 9S3sc, the top figures of the day. Then
the market quieted some. There was a ten
dency to even up over the holiday, which
caused prices to recede somewhat, May bring
ing 97a4@977sc at the close.
There was a greatly increased speculative
trade in corn, and the market was very
strong, and the price went above 30c, after
a hard fight. May ranged from 3O1Sc to
29Ac, and closed 1ac higher, at 30Bc. Though
there was not a great trade in oats, the mar
ket was strong and prices got to the highest
point for the crop. May ranged from 26c to
252sc, and closed 3sGAc higher, at 25%@26c.
There was strong market for provisions,
with trade a whole unimportant. The
strength of grain markets and moderate
stocks were influences. At the close May
pork was 71ac higher, at s1O.7O; May lard,
214c higher at $40, and May ribs, PIC
higher, at $5.171a@5.20.
