Chicago, Feb. 17.-Wheat-In SYM
pathy with the Liverpool cable. our
wheat market opened higher and
showed consistent strength thruout
the day. Good cash demand in all
markets was the basis for the advance.
Export sales were reported from all
markets and Kansas City claimed
sales Of flour abroad for the first time
in months. A rather bearish state
ment, issued by the Daily Trade Bull
letin yesterday, showing liberal avail
able stocks, was entirely disregarded
in the bullish enthusiasm Of the days
session. All markets showed a good
advance, northwestern and Winnipeg
markets being stronger.
Corn-It is rarely good policy to ex-
pect material declines from dull mar
ket that has held steady after large
decline. Early buying by cash interests
started the market strong and, after
that, there was good deal of short
corn to be covered by those who had
depended on the recent dull market
turning weak. Holders, whose patience
has been tried for some time, witnessed
recovery Of y cent in this one active
session. Cash markets also improved
and. except for low grade white corn.
which has been shipped freely to this
market on account of the premium.
car lots were in fair demand at Slightly
improved prices.
Oats-The action Of oats was similar
to that in corn, altho the gains were
not quite as large. closing prices being
1a to * cents higher. Better shipping
demand was reported, which led to the
covering Of a number of short lines held
by local traders. Commission houses
appeared the best sellers, apparently
representing profit taking on the part
of their trade.
Notwithstanding sales were
responsible for moderate setback in
the provisions list. Buying was scat
tered and not Of sufficient volume to
cause a recovery of the early loss
Temporary warmer weather appears to
be reducing consumption.
