A FIRM WHEAT MARKET
EARLY ADVANCE NEARLY WIPED
OUT IN LAST TEN MINUTES.
Cable News WAS Higher and There
Both Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-wheat was very firm to-
day until within ten minutes Of the close OF the
session, when a sc advance suddenly disappeared
on realizing by longs and May left off only sc
higher than yesterday. Corn and oats gained &c
each. Pork and lara improved 1Oc each and ribs

Owing to a little furry In the March delivery
at New York and an advance OF sd at Liverpool
before trading commenced here, wheat started
firm. May opened SQhc higher at 3hQ73%c and
under the buying spirit that took possession Of the
crowd touched 731sc before a reaction set in. The
crop situation, however, was decidedly more
favorable as a rule, there being little additional
in the way Of damage reports and the Price Cur
rent in its weekly summary stated that condi-
tions were better than usual at this season OF
the year. This encouraged considerable selling for
the short account and May sank slowly to 73lsc.
Chicago received los cars, Of which fourteen
graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ceipts amounted to sos cars. as compared with a4
for the corresponding day a year ago. The At
lantlc port clearances of wheat and flour eQualed
10000 bushels. This started the crowd buying
and as there was an undertone OF apprehension
concerning the cold wave, which was predicted as
approaching, May rose gradually to 7SSc. The
market held strong until within ten minutes Of
the close of the session, when several of the

A reduction In the quantity being offered from
the country strengthened corn. Commission
houses and elevator concerns bought heavily and
the price was bid up sharply. Near the end, how
ever, when wheat started to decline. corn began
to shrink and the early gain was nearly all lost.

Small offerings helped oats. Receipts were sS1

rose to CSC and closed at 2!Bc, sellers.
A good short demand and a light run Of hogs
strengthened provisions. Longs were disposed to
take profits at the Improvement, but with the
exception of an early dip the market ruled
strong and closed near the high point for the
day. The destruction of the Swift warehouse"a at
the stockyards had very little effect on the buy
ing, as the building held no regular product. May

dullness. But in all lines OF goods that come

only by the small arrivals Irish potatoes are

potatoes getting on the market in considerable
quantities. The hide market is active and prices
