Word of Liverpoors Inadequate Supply
for Increased Demand Advances
Prices.

Chicago, Feb. 8. - Wheat gathered
fresh strength today notwithstanding
that at first some uncertainty was
shown. Bulls replied chiefly on the
fact that the demand at Liverpool con-
tinued to exceed the supply and opin-
ions that damage reports from the do
nestle winter crop belt were likely to
become more numerous. Falling off in
receipts northwest tended to handicap
the bears. After opening 10 sc off
to Il up, with May at 1.2924 to 1904
and July at 1925 10 1885, the mar
ket sagged little and then scored a
moderate general advance.
Subsequently prices underwent .
decided reaction as a result of what
I seemed to be waiting policy in the
export trade and because Of free
/ country marketing in the southwest
| Liquidating sales assumed large pro-
portions. The close was steady, but
] 214 to 21ac net lower with May at
( L27%@7s and July at 1.2Oss.
f. Seaboard demand lifted corn. The
rise was helped by the removal of en-
bargoes on shipments to Baltimore
and by bullish crop reports from Arg
entina Opening prices, which ranged
from 1sGA to sc higher, were fol-
lowed by further upturns.
Later a break in wheat prices led to
much weakness in corn. The close
was heavy at &67sc net decline.
Oats responded to the corn strength.
There were reports of an improved do
nestle inquiry east.
Provisions advanced with hogs. On
the bulge, however. Packers sold and
caused something of reaction.
