CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.
Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, Feb. s-Dullness to the poin:
where trading was almost at a standstin was
throughout the entire session showed down
ward tendency. AT the outset there was SELL
ing of July by longs who felt that the general
snoWstorms throughout the winter wheat
belt would make prospects of new wheat
in July more reassuring. There was
also some selling of May by commits
sion houses. Lower prices at Liverpool
had some efect on early trading Initial quota
tlons on May were OFF s9Ac at 81 1910
l5A: July was also down B@Ac at
81 O1ss the price rallied TO 81 OILS buying
OF tair line by a prominent commission
house In sympathy May sold up to 81 1875.
The support, however, only temporary,
the market soon becoming easy on lack OF
buying. One reason for the poor demand was
the fact that the domestic situation as to ex-
lstlng supplies and general distribution ap
parently offered little encouragement to be-
rivals from Minneapolis and Duluth formed
PROBABLY one of the chief causes of moderate
selling here during the day by houses with
southwestern connections. Selling developed
talr proportions late in the session and
suited IN weak feeling. Closing prices were
at 81 16ls for May and 81 CO.'S for July.
Notwithstanding the weakness OF wheat the
corn market held comparatively firm. May
opened unchanged to a shade higher at 45 sc
to 40 Is 4ioAc and closed at 1850.
An effort by local bear leaders to raid the
oats market was frustrated by active buying
by shorts and commission houses. May closed
hc down at 30kQ30Ac
Considering the heavy receipts of live hogs,
At the close May pork and ribs were un-
changed at S12 s2h and So S2h respectively.
Lard was of 232c at So 81 II.
