| Chicago, February 1.-THE first Mis-
| souri, crop report for 1898 issued by the
| Secretary of Agriculture, indicates to-
| tai wheat area Of 1,034,00 acres, "a per
! cent. less than last year. The condi-
| ton of winter wheat is 76 against Sc
per cent. in November. The heavy
SHOWS helped the position. The de-
| creased area and the general condition
| do not promise an average yield. The
Liverpool wheat market exhibited an
| advance of I'D to I'd Monday, to which
! our market responded by opening a
shade over Saturdays close, the May
option starting at CSC to 951sc. The
large discount of preferred futures pre-
vents a certain class Of investment
buying on the theory that spot and
near futures are unduly sustained
through manipulation, and from the
start to-day there was a strong press
ure to sell, and although the bull clique
| brokers made a show of supporting the
market at first, they soon withdrew
and the price receded under liquida-
ton. Worlds shipments showed a
falling off aggregating 5,513,000 bush
els against $4,000 the week before
Outside Of this and the advance at
Liverpool the news was bearish.
Northwest receipts were heavy. 691
cars against 4S7 last week and 5l1
year ago California reported liberal
rains and the India crop was reported
splendid, and a surplus was promised
from Australia. Reports from the sea-
| board of a large export inquiry caused
a better feeling, and May recovered,
only to ease off again on weak late
cables from Liverpool. Toward the
close the market became steady and
fluctuated within a narrow range Corn
was dull and somewhat easier With
wheat on account of liberal receipts,
amounting to TIA cars. Oats were fair
Nv active and easier with corn. Re-
! ceipts 422 cars. Provisions were
strong, though not especially active:
The firmness of hogs helped prices, and
there was some outside demand.
