Late Market Quotations

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Wheat-C
damage reports from the west and
southwest caused a strong wheat
market early. On the advance there
was profit taking sales and short sell
ing on larger Argentine shipments.
which caused decline under last
nights close figures. Some stop loss
orders encountered on the way down.
A good deal was made of the report
OF increased offerings from Nebraska
and Kansas. But cash people located
in this territory deny such increase,
claiming that the condition of the
roads and the scarcity of cars are
operating against any increase in re-
ceipts.
Conan advance into new high
ground brought out heavy realizing
sales and a sharp reaction occurred
from the high point when outside buy
ing spent itself. Break in wheat also
had considerable to do with the re-
action. Milder weather is making it
difficult to move corn from first hands.
and is also increasing the danger OF
handling the low grade receipts, which
lost yesterdays gain. Eastern de-
mand is slow. Cash handlers in that
territory being unwilling to buy freely
at present figures, although their
stocks are low. Argentine news is
bullish.
Oats-Oats opening strong on buy
ing from the seaboard- houses, and
like other grains reacted sharply.
Free offerings of Canadian oats for
shipment at the opening Of navigation
had bearish effect. Receipts here
are light and report of increased coun-
try offering could not be confirmed.
