Long Commission Co. Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-Wheat-The
demand for cash wheat was the fea.
ture in causing the flrmness and a
gradual improvement in prices. Pres.
sure was limited to profit-taking sales
by commission houses. Local shorts
also covered rather freely. Hard win
ter wheat at gulf ports Is in such de-
mand that from price we'll under the
May option, 1t has risen to premium.
This and the report OF scarcity
abroad are the strong features in the
nearby futures. While unfavorable
crop news tends to hold the July de-
livery strong.
Corn-At the prices at which offers
sold last night and from then on until
midday, the range on corn was mar
row. Commission houses ana cash in
terests were the best buyers and at
outside prices profft-taking sales
checked the advance and some short
sales were made local traders. There
Is very good demand for good cash
corn. Domestic users are in the mar
ket and the seaboard is credited with
doing fresh business although no dem
mite figures are obtainable up to the
noon hour. Argentine crop news
again comes unfayorable.
Oats-Oats were helped by other
grains and by serious damage re-
ports in regard to the winter sown
oats. Receipts are light and the de-
mand good. Quality shows a slight
improvement.
Provisions-A higher hog market at
the local yards and an improved de-
mand for meats tended to make a
higher opening on provisions. De-
mands for both meats and lard has
improved lately.
