Chicago, February 2S.-Uneasiness
regarding the growing crop and a
better demand from abroad strength
oned wheat to-day, and May closed 3s
@1ac higher. Corn rose 3sc and oats
AWasc. Pork, lard and ribs lost 21ae0
&C. Predictions for a cod wave fol-
lowing the recent rains and reports
from the country suggestive Of serious
damage to the winter plant started
wheat firm. May opened unchanged
at from 1850 to 73A073asc, and dur
ing the first couple of hours trading
was bid up to 74c. Chicago receipts
were 102 cars, against 11S year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth received 39i
cars, compared with 305 for the same
day last year. New York early in the
day wired that the United Kingdom
sent good bids for spring wheat and
reported 80 boatloads disposed of for
foreign shipment. The primary west
ern market receipts were indicative Of
reluctance Of farmers to make sales
under apprehension for the growing
crop, only 100000 bushels being re-
ceived at the chief western centres.
Bradstreet's statement of the world S
visible showed an increase for the
week of POI geo bushels, compared with
$4,000 bushels decrease the same
week of the previous year. That mod
flied to slight extent the bullishness
engendered by the other news. The
market continued firm, but 74c seemed
an impossible barrier for May wheat.
1t butted against those figures several
times, but was sent staggering Zee or
so after each attack, and closed at 1874
@73%c.
Diminishing receipts and their small
ness as compared with the movement
at this time last year strengthened
corn. May opened irregularly at from
a shade lower to 1sc higher at 36hc
to $3.50 and rose rapidly to 37Ac. 1t
did not stay long above &c, but chung
close to that price during the remain
der of the session and closed at SIC
sellers. Receipts 592 cars, compared
with 1,044 the same day year ago.
A good cash demand and heavy COW
ering by shorts helped oats. Receipts,
1856 cars. May opened shade lower
at 2Sc, rose to 2S1ac, then reacted to
2SA buyers, the closing price.
The execution of stop loss orders
by commission houses weakened pro-
visions early. Cvering by shorts at the
decline brought about a slight reaction.
May pork opened 71a@10c lower at
S9.271a@9.3214, rose to $9.371s and clos
ed at 1895 sellers. The range in lard
and ribs was narrow.
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
Wheat, "A cars; corn, 200 cars; oats,
1876 cars; hogs, $1,000 head.
