ADVANCE AFTER OPENING
SHOWS GAINS ALL AROUND

CHICAGO, February 15.-Assertions
few days had been much underesti-
mated brought about a display OF
strength in wheat today, notwithstand-
ing weakness at the start. The initial
tendency to sag resulted from scat
tered selling and from the fact that
temporarily the pit demand seemed to
be more limited than usual. The mar
ket rose swiftly. however, when buying
became somewhat free.
Opening prices. which varied from the
same as yesterdays finish to l cent
lower. were followed by an upturn that
showed fair net gains all around.
Corn Sways With Wheat.
Corn swayed with wheat. Offerings
were light. After opening 'saA to IA
II off, the market Seored a substantial
general advance.
Oats developed f1rmness, owing to the
bulge in the value of other grain.
Trade, though. lacked volume.
Realizing sales by miscellaneous
holders acted as weight on pro-
visions. Western hog receipts were
much IN excess OF TINS supply ut eHe
corresponding time last year.
Word of fresh wheat export transactions
caused further advance, although late
dispatches limited that the new sales
were not of any large amounts. The
close was firm, Ba1 to 1ba1A net
higher. with May at 1.2SA a1.2Sss and
July at LII 7sa1.22.
Announcement of some. sales to Eu-
rope had a hullish effect on corn. The
close was firm at ssas, to III net ad-
vance.
