CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE reaction in
wheat that threw the pit into fits in the
continued on the curb afterward was re-
newed today before the regular session
commenced First curb prices were 1Ac
higher. at 1914 and during the half hour
that followed it sold as high as 107B. The
regular opening was as wild one as has
been witnessed in months. A perfect howl
went up from the shorts, who, in their
eagerness to cover their lines, bid all the
way from los to 1os for May, and a few @
seconds after some of the more anxious
ones bid 1864. That proved to be the high
point of the day. Thousand of bushels
were dumped on the market by longs, the
wheat coming from operators who have
hitherto chosen to hold onto their lines,
and more disposition to realize being shown
than at any time since the recent advance
commenced. The consequence was the
price broke with bewildering rapidity, get
ting down in less than five minutes to 1O31a.
Then 1t rebounded again, but with less
force behond it to 104% The market fuc-
tuated rapidly for time, but renewed re-
alizng occurred at every rally, and the
market gradually settled. Though the
d1squietfng news from Havana may have
cut some figure in the jump it was mi
nor factor and was little heard of. 1t
was apparently repetition of yesterday
among shorts over the Letter deal, and
everybody was on the alert to see what he
would do today. But Letters brokers were
not much in evidence, and the fact that
there was plenty of wheat for sale at and
around 105, served to keep the market with
in bounds. AT IL o'clock selling became
quite heavy, and the low point-1O3-was
reached. Cudahy and others were cred
tied with realizing on lines showing heavy
profits and commission houses had selling
orders. This decline was followed by the
reaction to 103%, the price about noon.
For the rest of the session prices rather
tended toward lower level. Foreign mar
kets were strong and showed good closing
advances. Northwest receipts were rather
small at 250 cars, 10 of contract grade
Atlantic port clearances of wheat and
flour equaled 5S6 900 bushels Primary west
ern receipts were 1892, 900 bushels, against
222OOO bushels year ago. The closing
price for May was 104A. There was a
heavy business in July but that option did
not show the excitement May did July
opened k@11sc higher, at 9OQ911hc, and
dropped at once to soc. That was the range
or prices. July closed at soc bid
In view of the wheat strength, corn did
not act strong, and the volume of trading
was smaller. The market opened higher in
sympathy with wheat, but declined 1mme-
diately, and acted rather weak thereafter.
The opening was strong in oats, with
wheat, but the advance brought out profit
taking and also induced some short SELL
ing, and prices declined.
There was a good trade in provisions
There was profit-taking early This and
lower hog market caused some declines.
On the break, commission houses bought
freely, packers also taking some of the
offerings. Later prices settled back con-
siderably on realizing, and the market
closed steady.

COMPLETE WRECK
May Make Discovery Of the Cause
Impossible

WASHINGTON, Feb 17-General fear
is expressed by the old officers at the AMY
department that the destruction of the
Maine has been so complete, at least in the
forward portion of the ship, where The ex-
plosion is believed to have occurred, that
1t would be perhaps impossible to find suf-
ficient evidence in the wreck of the hull to
be able to declare with certainty the cause
of the disaster. The reports coming from
Havana and printed this morning, descrip-
tive of the appearance of the wreck yes
terday strengthen these doubts. The fall
of the smokestack, the disappearance of
the big turret guns, the overturning of the
deck forward, all seem to indicate that
enormous destruction has occurred below,
Nothing has yet developed in the news
from Havana as to the appearance of the
wreck or in the conflicting stories of the
survivors to change the opinion of the ma
jority of the officers stationed in the navy
department that the Maine sunk as the
result of an internal explosion. As to the
origin of this explosion there Is still a wide
difference of opinion, but the coal bunker
theory today flnGs very many more strong
supporters than any other theory This
theory is based on the supposition that
spontaneous combustion in one of the
bunkers. which on the Maine were sepa-
rated from the magazine forward by a sin
gle thin Partition of iron. ignited the mag
azine and caused the destruction of the
vessel. 1t is said that on the ,battleship
