GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago. Feb. A-At the opening the
market was strong, there being an ac-
tive demand by shorts and commission
houses. Initial quotations on May were
up 1s1A to L0% at S21sG&Ss. Higher ca
bles tended to strengthen the market, and
later advices were received that not one
bushel Of wheat had been exported from
India during the week, against 1,12S,000
bushels for the same time last year.
These advices were largely offset by re-
ports Of wet weather in the winter wheat
section. Toward the middle of the session
the market eased off, May selling down
to S2dS21s. The market closed quiet, with
May unchanged from yesterday at &149

abandoned when three days after the dis

parties were set to work and the answer
