it has held for all through. Chicago and

Everything that comes from Chicag go

The news from every source has been

steady slide-off from week to week, but
so far Minneapolis is past the average
da tie when stocks begin to decrease and
there is no. downward turn in sight YET.
On the other hand and this is the
strongest bull argument in the Northwest
outook-the bulk of the receipts here are
out of country stocks. and when the re-
port comes in at the end of February,
stocks in country elevators will be found
to be the lightest in years. BY March 1,
country stocks, If the present rate Of de-

est in ten years Another thing that must
not be overlooked is the country demand.
Monday the country millers bought in
Minneapolis and reshipped to their coun-
try plants 70 cars or g., 600 blu of wheat
This country demand is not likely to run
much lighter than at present during the
spring months. Another important con-
sideration in the supply statistics is
found In the relatively larger quantities
of wheat this year at a few important
points.
"A Chicago house had a dispatch saying
that some. evidences Of damage to wipter
wheat were being found in Iowa and
Nebraska. This turned the market and

CHICAGO. Feb. 17.-Tradingf in the
grain pits was rather dull today and
after a weak session, wheat closed
nrm, May being 3-Sc higher May
corn was up 1-8@14c, but oats were
l-8Q1-4c lower. Provisions closed ir-
regular, the May products being from
LIE lower to 10@12 1-2c higher.
Wheat ruled dull during the greater
part OF the session and weakness pre-
vailed until near the close, when fair
buying by commission houses and local
traders caused an upturn, and the
close was firm. The opening was cas-
Ter on Indifferent cables, May being
down a shade to 1-8@1-4c at II 5-8c
TO FI Sac. Selling for Southwest ac-
count added to the depression and the
market declined, there being support
Ing features and May sold off to II 1-2c
Enc impression got abroad that the
leader OF the bulls was trying to buy
wheat around the low points, and
this gave some strength to the situa-
ton, which was helped later in the
day by the strength in corn and by
fair export demand. After selling up
to 78s3zSc, May closed 3-8c higher at
IS 1-8078 1-4c.
Bradstreet's worlds visible for the
week showed an increase of 3O9 900 bu

Primary receipts were 435.O0O b1.
against 458,000 blu a year ago. Min
neapoiis and Duluth reported receipts
OF 376 cars, which, with local receipts
OF 81 cars, two of contract grade.
made total receipts for the three points
OF 4O8. cars, against 396 cars last week
and 439 cars a year ago.
x. Strength in Corn.
After an easier opening the corn
market developed considerable strength
and higher prices prevailed throughout
the day in spite of heavy selling by
commission houses and short selling by
scalpers. The mood was Influenced to
some extent by the small receipts while
a good cash demand was responsible
for much of the f1rmness. The close
was trim with May 1-8@1-4c higher at
80 3-8c, after selling between As and
80 5-Sc. Local receipts were 356 cars
with none of contract grade.
The increase in the contract stocks
or oats caused renewed liquidation in
that pit, and the market ruled rather
easy, although a slight recovery was
mace late in the day on the strength
In wheat and corn. Commission houses
were the best sellers, while the buying
was scattered. The volume of business
was small and no special features were
manifested. The close was easy with
May l-8@1-4c lower at SO 1905 3-Sc.
after selling between 36@36 1-8c and
SO 57Sc Local receipts were III cars
provisions were again decidedly
strong at the start, keeping pace with
the upward movement in hog values
The better prices brought out consid-

4 was iost. Pork was f1rrner, relatively
than the other products and closed 10
@121-2c higher at $17471-2, on the
May delivery. May lard was unchang-
ed at $3.50. While ribs were 1-2c low
err at 50. 55.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat, 20 cars; corn, 100 cars;
oats 80 sears and $4,000 head of hogs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
