Lower Quotations From Liverpool and
Report of Visible Supply De.
press Quotations.

tnlCago, Feb. Wheat showed
fresh weakness today, the result large
ly Of lower quotations from Liverpool
and OF estimates that the worlds Wis
ible supply exceeds by 45,000,0 900 bush
els all previous records. Moreover,
the increase was said to be wholly In
North America. Apparent absence Of
export demand counted also against
the bulls. Opening prices, which rang
ed from Il off to Ac upward, with May
at 1.377sQI325s and July at 1850
1.24, were followed by sharp general
setback. but then something of rally.
Subsequently big export buying, said
to amount to 100000 bushels, caused
a sharp advance. Talk of probable
crop damage in Illinois and Misscrri !
was bullish factor and so also wa |
the Oklahoma state crop report The |
close was strong, to 30314c net |
higher, with May at 1.347s01.35 and |
July at 1865.
Corn declined with wheat The |
clear, cold weather tended to favor
the bears. After opening shade low
er to 1s0A up, the market underwent
a moderate sag all around.
Argentine reports Of damage by
drought and locusts helped later to
turn the market upgrade. The close
was strong at l to 11s@1Ac net ad-
/ vance.
/ Oats reflected the heaviness of 9th
| er cereals. As a rule, pit traders were
| sellers.

also a good deal of realizing by mis-
! cellaneous holders.
