| CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Wheat-A bet
i ter inquiry for cash wheat and the
sold out condition In the market re
suited in a good advance today, and
firm tone at the best prices the
week. A good demand and that from
interior mii1ers show considerable
improvement. The British govern
ment appears to be assuming more
aggressive attitude in regard to Sc
curing supplies both In concentration
and abroad and working with domes-
| tic railroad interests. The market
will doubtless show general activity
were the political situation clear, but
Irrespective Of political developments,
economic laws favor higher prices.
The worlds supply of wheat is short,
the new crop promise is none too
favorable, and foreign buyers are IN
NO position to risk shortage OF
foodstuffs either for men in the fields
or citizens at home, who must be
kept in sympathy with the govern
ment's prosecution Of the war.
Corn-The corn market continued
gradually to advance, although there
was nothing sensational in It's action
today. The car situation Is tnterfer-
ing with both receipts and shipments,
but extraordinary feeling and expert
demand prevent any accumulation OK
supplies. Clearances for the day were
l .2O1 900 bushels, there Is no dill
Guilty in selling corn for shipment
Oats-Two bullish factors stand out
in the oats situation: Winter oats
have been hurt in the south by re-
cent cold weather and cash demand
is showing material Improvement.
There are also assurances that snip
ping conditions will improve. 80 as
to make possible the moving OF the
enormous supplies. The prospects
are for gradually higher prices.
