CHICAGO, February 24-Wheat eased
Off today owing to favorable weather
conditions and because Of indifference
shown by foreign markets to strength on
this side of the Atlantic. Absence of any
radical decline in the volume Of receipts
counted also In favor Of the bears. Then,
too. buying demand seemed less urgent
here whereas offerings were fairly liberal
Reports from Liverpool said the lack OF
bullishness at that center was due to
pressing Argentine offers and to lack of
consumptive demand. Opening prices in
Chicago were the same as last night to Il
down. May started at 1.OOs to 1.O0s1,
unchanged to B lower. and sagged to

err formed a decided buying influence in
the corn pit. Local SPECTATORS were the
chief purchasers. May opened at last
nights level to Is off, 6Sss to 6S1e. and
then rose to 6Ss4.
There was not much pressure to sell
oats. Accordingly, the market developed
firmness in sympathy with corn. May
started a sixteenth lower to a like amount
up at 521a to 523s, and assembled to 52A.
Big receipts of hogs weighed down pro-
visions. A leading packer was conspicu-
Gus on the selling side. Initial trans
actions varied from 5 decline to a shade
advance. with May delivery 1910 for
pork, 9.Uoa for lard and $50 for ribs.

ANXIOUS OVER CONGRESS
UNION PACIFIC ADVANCES

NEW YORK. February 24.-Heaviness
was reflected in opening prices on the
stock exchange today. Substantial re-
cessions were recorded by most of the
leading issues. including the copper
stocks. which have been recent features
of strength. The only notable gain was
a one-point advance in Wheeling and
Lake Erie first preferred.
The early selling was partly ascribed
to- overnight developments at Washing
ION. which suggested that the radical
element in Congress is likely to gain the
ascendancy in the proposed money
power inquiry. Amalgamated Copper,
yesterdays strongest feature, lost Ia,
xith increased heaviness in other specu-
lative issues. Republic Iron and Steel
preferred fell back to 67zs, further loss
of 2as, and the common declined two
points. The list then relapsed into it's
customary dizziness.
Recoveries in Last Hour.
The market closed steady. Substantial
recoveries We're made in the last hour.
