Chicago, Feb. 11.-Wheat-Bullist
news from the northwest, with indica-
caused a continuation for yesterdays
strength. A report from Minneapolis
issued by one Of the leading milling IN
terests, indicated that supplies in tina,
quarter are likely to be sufficient &c
meet the flour demand for the re-
mainder Of the season. This repor.
was given moro weight by the fact tina,
Minneapolis was bidding for hard
wheat in southwestern territory in
competition with Chicago. Reports OF
export sales from Duluth and from
southwestern markets, and fairly lib
eral sales were thought to have beer
made. In spite Of all the favorable
news prices at the close were little
changed from yesterday.
Corn-Corn opened at about TIT
highest prices for the day and closed
at y cent decline. There was little
change in the general situation Locals
appeared mostly bearish. influenced
principally by the lack Of cash demand
from the east. The recent cold weather
has made 1t possible to shell and move
a little more corn, but advtces from the
country do not point to a heavy in
crease in receipts.
Oats-There were denials and re-
afflrmations Of export sales Of Can.
adam oats yesterday. Nothing Of i'm
portance occurred to cause price varia
lions and the market acted within 4
cent range throughout the day. clos.
ing a shade lower than last night.
Provisions-Packers and shorts tool
advantage Of a break in the late hos
prices to pres. provision. little
scattered liquidation found lack Of sup.
port and a moderate decline followed
Around low figures there was some re-
instatement Of lines Of scattered in
vestors and much Of the early loss wa:
recovered. Eastern shipping demand
for hogs has been good and continued
to be an important factor in support
