Poultry md Game

No western poultry reached the market yester-
day and the receipts from state shipping points
were only SO coops- The market remained in
good shape for the selling interests and prices fol-
all descriptions well maintained, there eb-
ing a particularly brisk demand for frying and
brolling chickens. Receipts of dressed turkeys
were increased to 2S cases, and as the demand
was limited the market weak. Small sales
of choice stock were reported at 25c a pound
while general offerings sold down to 20c and
some very poor lots went at 1Sc. In the game
department hare and rabbits were weak on lib
eral offerings, while wild geese were steady
with the demand and supply about balancing.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and ProvIsion.


CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Although leading bulls
gave the wheat market support on all weak
spots, the demand not active and prices dur
ing the greater part of the session were tride
below the closing figures of the previous day
feature of the trading was the renewed selling
of the July delivery. which caused that option
TO rule comparatively weaker than the nearby
delivery. Poor demand for cash wheat here and
an extremely slack demand for -four at all the
principal milling centers in this country were
the chief factors in the situation During the
day the May delivery sold between 81 .i2H a.
l14% and closed at s1.14A July closed at
Corn was bearish nearly all day. At the close
prices were a shade TO &c below the previous
64s 6765c. "
Oats scored further advance on buying by
lending longs and cash interests..Afa advancing
to 54hc, new high point for the season. AZ
the close prices were 15c above yesterday v s
final quotations. May closed at 54Ae and July
at 4S%c.
Provisions weak because of moderat te
sales by western packers. The selling was based
largely on liberal receipts of live hogs at ali
western packing centers. Prices at the close
were 5@12tac below the previous close.

"A feature Of prominence at present is
the strong market for Oregon Italian prunes.
From all accounts the stock of these remaining
on the coast is less than 10 cars, some estima ties
making it not more than five cars while the
quantity held here is said to be small and well
controlled. The demand from consumers how

the largest distributors of this fruit hesitate to
make purchases though 1t is believed that they
are carrying very small stocks Thus. while the
statistical situation is unusually strong the mar
ket is prevented from advancing by the slack de-
mand. California prunes on the spot remain
easy and have very slow movement. The dulI-
