Chicago, March 1.-THE action of
the board of directors of the Board of
Trade last night in refusing to fix a
marginal price on wheat produced a
decidedly bullish effect on the early
market to-day. The testimony furn
ished to the directors tended to show
that spot wheat prices abroad are bet
ter than the bear spectators would
admit. The strength was especially
\ conspicuous at the opening. Quite
number of thinly marginal shorts pro-
tectlng themselves. July wheat start
ed 1ac higher, declined fraction, and
after a few unimportant transactions
were accomplished, a good demand
sprang up apparently from all quar-
ters and prices soon advanced nearly
a cent before the inevitable realizing
by scalpers became sufficiently heavy
to cause any material reaction. Not
only was the board Of directors de-
cision in favor of the bulls, but they
also had at their command the .encour-
agement Of freezing weather in the
Northwest and reports OF killing frosts
in the northern part of California. The
additions to contract stocks of wheat
to-day were not SO large as of late, II
cars and 10000 bushels coming out of
mixing houses, and SO cars of the reg
ular receipts of lat cars graded quail
ity, a total of about $4,000 bushels
Northwest receipts were 23l cars.

strength also, but not much was done
in that delivery. Broomhall cabled

will increase 10000 600 bushels during
ensuing seven weeks" Corn was quiet
and barely steady, the favorable
weather having a rather depressing
effect. Oats were dull but steady.
Trading was confined to scalpers. Pro-
visions were firmer, helped by better
hog prices and by the firmness OF
wheat. Trading was narrow and
mostly Of local character.
