CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. Feb. 21.-Wheat-Some lit
tie revival in the export demand and a
correction OF the French official crop
report. issued Thursday. made a strong
er wheat market. There was a little
export business direct from here. some
via Gulf and also twenty loads reported
late last night from the seaboard for
the Continent In response to the cor
rection OF the official French crop re-
port. Paris was sharply higher. Liver
pool also stronger. The Northwestern
markets were relatively slow. although
sales of 200. 900 bushels cash were re-
ported made TO millers at 1 cent over
the May for 40. ! Northern.
Corn-Thcrc was a good trade IN corn
and prices were sharply higher. The
July continued 30 gain on the May. and
was freely bought by influential inter
ests. The May again touched the high
est point yet reached. 80 cents The
cash trade was excellent everywhere
Seaboard sales aggregated sixty loads.
There was Il good demand at the Gulf
sold from here. Exports were 5000
bushels. Primary market receipts
showed the effect of the more severe
temperature. anC were $4,000. against
$50 900 bushels a week ago
Oats-Although there was further
selling CT May by one of the large local
spectators. the market held well and
was somewhat Influenced by the firm
ness in other grains. It is expected that
local stocks either in public or private
elevators will show some increase for
the week. In case OF good weather IL is
also expected that receipts will show a
material increase.
Provisions-Prices were higher all
around with ribs in the lead The de-
mand for these came principally from
packers and locst shorts. Offerings were
scanty until the advances we're we'll es-
tablished. after which there was some
taking OF profits by small holders both
in ribs and pork. Lard was relatively
easier than pork or ribs. and was sold
by packers, who were Influenced by the
slow cash trade.
