COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Day is Dull In Board Of Trade Grain
Pits.
NAY WHEAT RECEIVERS SLIGHTLY
Corn Also Goes Up Tribe, but Oats
Tumble and Provisions Close
Irregular, Some Rising
and others Falling.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Trading In the grain
pits was rather dull today and after a
weak session wheat closed firm, May belng
&c higher. MAJ corn was up bghc, put
oats we're hIhc lower. provisions closed
Irregular, the May products being from 21zc
lower to 1Od12kc higher.
Wheat ruled dull during the greater part
Of the session and weakness prevailed until
near the close, when fair buying by com
mission houses and local traders caused an
upturn and the close was firm. The open
ing was easier on Indifferent cables, May
being down a shade to 1sgkc at Ifssg0Ac.
Selling for southwest account added to the
depression and the market declined, there
being no supporting features, and May
sold on to INC. The impression got abroad
that the leader of the bulls was trying to
buy wheat around the low point and this
gave some strength to the situation, which
was helped later by the strength In corn
and by a fair export demand. After sell
ing to 1880 May closed &C higher at 1Ss4
7skc. Bradstreet,s worlds visible for. the
week showed an Increase of 100000 bushels.
compared with a decrease a year abo OF
1.7s3,OOO bushels. Seaboard clearings were
incomplete owing to wire trouble, Fri.

reported receipts of 36 cars, which with
local receipts Of 80 cars, 2 OF ]eGntrae SdS
last week and 439 a year ago.
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
HhThtL was liiAutIttu W jill ~ "
the small receipts, while a good cash de-
mand was responsible for mach OF the
firmness. The close was firm, with May n
dkc higher at 453sc after selling between
DOC and 454hc. Local receipts were $50 cars.
The increase in the contract stocks of
oats caused renewed liquidation In that pit
and the market ruled rather easy, although
a slight recovery was made late In the day
on the strength In wheat and corn. Com
mission houses we're 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 hdhc lower at 36kG36Asc, after sell
ing between 36d36hc and $3.50, Local re-
celpts were III cars.
Provisions were decidedly strong at the
start. keeping pace with the upward move
ment in hog values. The better prices
brought out considerable realizing through
out the day and the greater part of the
early gain was lost. Pork was frmer rela.
lively than the other products and closed
lOQ12kc higher at S17.47h for the May de-
livery. May lard unchanged at 1915. while
ribs were PIC lower at S9.55.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
20 cars; corn, 100 cars; oats, 50 cars; hogs,
5000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

NEW YORK, Feb. 1L-COTTON-Opened
hrm at lie, an advance OF, 3qlO points under
the unfavorable weather In the country and
strong Liverpool cables. Before the open
ing of the local market prices there were 2
q4c higher and before the close OF the
English market this advance had been in
creased to a matter of 64S points. The
firmness at Liverpool was attributed by
In the belt and to large buying orders from
this side. Commission house business was
inteTfered with to a considerable extent by
the poor wire service, and as a matter of
fact very little of the demand today seemed
to come from outside sources, the best buy
resent interests concerned in the bull pool
and shorts who had sold yesterday. Aside
from a brief setback in the mid-forenoon
as a result of proft-taking the market
worked steadily upward throughout the

HOGS-There was a liberal run OF hogs
reported this morning. but the trains were
rather slow In arriving. so that the mar
ket was prolonged until rather a late hOur.
Trading though, started out very brisk
at an advance OF right close TO a dime.
The good weight hogs were fully lOc higher,
while the les9 desirable grades were, per
haps. only 5Gl0c higher. The bulk. Of the
sos while the prime heavy hogs sold
largely from $40 to $3.50. The lighter
weights sold from 500 down. All the early
arrivals were disposed OF In a hurry, but
along toward IL o'clock packers seemed
to have their more urgent orders. hlted, ana
for that reason wanted to buy the iate ar
rivals a shade easier. Another thing which
helped the packers bear the market was
the fact that although the provision market
and buyers said they had to buy their hogs
accordingly. II was rather late before u
clearance was made. Representative sales:

SHEEP-There was a very liberal run OF
sheep and lambs reported this morning,
but there did not seem to be any too many
to meet the requirements of the local
trade, and the market opened active and
steady to strong on all desirable grades.
As high as $40 was paid for western
lambs, which is the highest price of the
season TO date. Fed western ewes cold up
TO $3.50. which Is also the top price Of the
season, and a little bunch of yearlings
reached $3.50. Trading was very brisk. so
that, although receipts were liberal, II
was not long before all the early arrivals
were disposed of.
Feeders were again very scarce, so that
there was no particular change in the stu
alton.
