Late Market Quotations
Long Commission Co. Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Wheat-Re-
newed talk Of export demands and re-
placing OF wheat recently sold out by
some OF the larger longs, developed /
firm tone to the wheat market early
and during most part Of the days ses-
sion. Shorts covered early and some
even took the buying side. Without
any change in the general. situation,
moderate volume Of profit taking
started selling market which car
ried prices at noon to below last
nights close. There is evidence of
good demands for wheat on all recess
sfons and the investor who has the
patience to wait for breaks to buy,
will very likely find such purchases
profitable
Corn-Corn was in good demand
from shorts and from brokers who
were said to have seaboard connec-
t1ons. Estimated export business was
reported as liberal, but no figures
were given out. Offerings are not as
large as expected. II any demand from
seaboard springs up in corn. like the
volume reported today, recessions will
only be temporary.
Oats-Oats ruled strong with other
grains. but when wheat and corn
turned easy, fair setback occurred.
Cash interests were good buyers early
PrIce Current.
Weather very cold for several days
over the eastern half of winter wheat
belt during the past week. This Is the
second visit of freezing weather and
some damage may be expected when
not come in time to do much good.
