FOREIGNERS TOOK
MORE WHEAT
Shorts Covered-Selling Con-
servative and From Strong
Sources-Commitments
Reduced

CHICAGO, Feb. II. The outstanding
feature of the wheat market today was
Increased buying for foreign account and
covering of shorts. Higher cables and
the strength in corn affected sentiment to
considerable extent but the selling was
conservative and from what was consid-
cred very strong sources and served to
hold the market in check
Al one time prices were about points
above yesterdays lowest The markets in
the Northwest were inclined to sag and
this factor also prevented further up
turns after the start. There was a gem
eral disposition 10 reduce the open mar
ket commitments as much as possible, be-
cause of the two-day holiday. May wheat
opened at ssl.29 and ranged from 81. 293,
to H27l4 closing at S1.2S1l. .2Sls, a gain OF
ssc. July started at s1.2l5s, its highest
being Sl.22A and its lowest 81 2Ogs, with a
hnal figure of sl.2lh, an advance of S.c
Corn was higher due TO sharp ad-
vance at Liverpool and the forecast for
unsettled weather in the belt Selling
pressure was absent, and good demand
from number of commission houses was
noted. May finished at 77asc., and July at
Uasc,, losses of &c. net, due to more
liberal supply.
While oats advanced with the other
grains. there was fairly good selling at
the upturns. and this held the market in
check,
