PRICES OF ALL
 CEREALS HARDENED
Wheat Closed Firm-Cash Corn Showed an
 Advance

Chicago February 1.-Prices of all ce- reals hardened today as a result Of the proposed strict rules against interstate shinmsnts of grain not up to standard re- quirements for food
 Wheat closed firm or isc off to hQssc higher Cash corn was at an advance or iLe to ssa1zc, and oats closed ssq7se up; hog products declined 219c 10 71zc.
 Announcement that drastic speculation menaced shippers who handled grain which from chemical treatment or from smut, or other damages would be danger ous to health. did not come until the ses- sion's trade was nearly at an end
 The wheat market previously had been heavy owing to prospects that generous receipts northwest might be expected for some time The arrivals at Minneapolis amounted to s09 carloads. as against 1sO the corresponding period year ago. Mild weather lessened flour business and the supposed condition for winter wheat acted also in favor of the bears. Predictions of smaller world shipments tended to steady prices, but there was little to comfort the bulls. Early the grain began to rise sharply in response 10 news from Wash irgton about regulations being brought to apply in a broad manner with regard to interstate traffic in cereals. Then wheat prices took an upward turn. May, which had ranged from sl.o1a4 to s1.o2Ss, closed at s1 02ss@1 o2ls, or just 1sc under yesterday.
 Corn finished strong after display of considerable nervousness. There were re- ports of a renewed demand from the south, especially Texas cables were high CT and the seaboard sent word of some ocean freight room being taken.
 A decisive factor in the end was the ad- vices about tightening the pure food laws as construed by federal authorities. May fuctuated between 67s4c and 6Sssc, closing 9sa1ac net higher at 6Si4@SSssc.
 Oats scored new top figure for the crop. In consequence of the Washing ton announcement which specifically barred sulphured shipments as unfit for consumption, trade in lower grades was halted completely. The effect was quick ly boiled and quickly again asserted itself as a tax on option prices.
 Upper and lower ranges touched for March were less than May. May closed with last sales of %c up to 52ssc. Huge receipts of hogs carried down provisions. Heavy stocks on hand here were looked for in the monthly statement issued after closing hours. In consequence prices showed a nearly uniform selling of 2lxd 5iac decline at the last sound of the bell.
 Future quotations were as follows:

MORRIS AVENUE
 PRICES ADVANCE: Good Trade in Evidence All Day-Egg Receipts
 Light

Features of Morris avenue business yes terday were advances in quotations and the receipt of Irish potatoes.
 Good trade was in evidence soon after the opening and remained steady until tho close. In the egg markets the drawback again was insufficient stock. A few cases arrived during tho day, but they were soon taken up and sales were made as high as 49c a dozen. As laying season is now close at hand these high prices are not expected to obtain very much longer.
 The produce and meat trade was very satisfactory. Receipts in the meat mar kets were rather light, but the avenue was sufficiently stocked to tide the mar kets over Prices were not affected in tho produce and provision markets as shown in the following list:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. February 1.--(Special)-- English spinners are uneasy over the gradual increase in the premium for se- lected grades, and have been calling cot ton freely today. This gave an unex- pected strength to Liverpool where the new positions advanced more rapidly than the distant deliveries.
 Those who hold the new positions as hedges against forward sales are mo- ticeably eager to impress bullsh views upon the trade and upon the outside public on the idea that no matter how large this crop may be It has been pro- vided for by the purchases for forward delivery and by the shortage in the crops of the other countries.
 Many local buying orders were in evil dence on these ideas, while the south was a steady seller at every point at an advance. showing that the strength in the market came from Liverpool. which should be , points higher tomor- row. A good demand for the low grades is reported from the south.
