PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, February S.-The wheat
market was strong and active to-day,
mainly under the Incentive of reported
damage to the French crop. Profit
takings also played a part and most
of the advance was lost. May closed
a shade over yesterday. Corn closed
B@Ac improved and oats unchanged.
Provisions at the close were 2k @10c
up.
Breath, strength and animation were
shown by the wheat market and for
eign buying, caused by further reports
that the French crop had suffered Sc
vereiy, was the feature. Paris was up
equal to 2c a brnshel here and was re-
ported taking all offers made over
night. The irresponsible attitude OF
Liverpool to the advance here yesterday
had a discouraging effect early, May
opening bc lower at 68H @68%c. A
reaction followed by reason of the pre-
diction of a sewers cold wave, the bet
ter tone of later Liverpool cables and
the French advices. May was bid up
to 69@69Ac. There had been talk OF
considerable export, but New York re-
ported only II loads taken, which caus-
ed some selling, which, combined with
vigorous profit taking by traders, re-
suited in a reaction which sent May
to 68hc, at which that option closed
firm, but only a shade over yesterday.
Primary receipts were 343, 900 bushels,
compared with asa, 900 bushels last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported
300 cars, against 314 last week and 80
a year ago. Receipts were 10 cars, none
of contract grade. Clearances at the
seaboard in wheat and -four were equal
TO 141. 900 bushels.
The corn market was strong and
trade fairly active. A r~eitesation that
the Argentine crop had suffered severe
ly and a cable announcing che ruin OF
the Uruguay fields by wheat were the
factors. Liverpool was up a trife. The
strength of wheat was also an influence.
The market was a broad one. Clear
ances were $4,000 bushels and local
receipts 718 cars. May sold from 33h
Q33Bc to 1880, and closed k@Ac inn
proved at 33Ac.
In the oats market, which was firm.
but not active, light country offerings,
small receipts and the strength of corn
were the influences. Local receipts
were IT'S cars. May ranged from 23Mc
to 23&c, closing unchanged at 23Mc.
Provisions were active and proper
tionately strong, pork at the best being
up l219 @17hc; lard sc and ribs 10c. A
recession from the top was caused by
profit takings. The factor aside from
some natural sympathy with grain was
the excellent outside demand, which
met with light offerings from those who
are supposed to be the largest holders.
Hog receipts under the estimate and
better prices at the yards were also in
fuences which were felt mostly at the
opening. initial figures showing a shade
gain over night. May pork sold from
$l1.15 to $11.30, and closed TIC higher
at $11.20; May lard from S6.15 to $500,
closing 21ac up at 6.15@6.17k, and May
ribs from s6.02h to s6.12h, with the
close 71a@10c better at $6.10.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, S5 cars; corn, 725 cars; oats,
1S5 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
