Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO Feb. 21.-Strength in the wheat
market developed seon after the opening. At
the start the market bearishly affected
by decline at Liverpool said to be caused
by larger offerings from Argentina. Initial
quotations on May were unchanged to Lc low
changed to &c lower at 81 01B to 81 O1as.
Trading confined largely to the July de-
livery, although some shorts covered May on
all slight declines. The demand for July at
times was of such a character as to suggest
that the market receiving support from a
vanced wheat became bullish. Little
Improvement, however, was noted in the vol
une OF business Marked falling off in pri-
mary receipts had strengthening influence
during the last part of the day. Strength of
corn helped to stimulate demand for wheat
disappointment to the bulls. Prices, how
ever, reached the highest point of the day just
before the close. May sold at 81 1914 and
July at 81 OILS The market finished stroHg
with May at the top, 81 1915. Final quota
tions on July at 81 O1a al OILS
Shorts were fairly active bidders for corn
and in consequence the market gained in
strength as trading progressed. The market
closed practically at the highest point of the
day. May opened unchanged to a shade higher
at 4GAa46ssc. sold up to 47c and closed
at 46kc
A firm undertone prevailed in the oats mar
ket the entire day. May opened unchanged at
30%c and closed at 31Mc.
