CHICAGO, Feb. 15-Wheat-Ihe
disposition of the trade has. Tor sew
eral days, been to sell wheat because
| Of the possibility Of sensational politi-
cal developments at any moment. The
| freight situation has added to the
bearish feeling. There was good sell
| ing this morning, because the droutn
in Oklahoma had been broken, and
the result was sold-out market with
well placed resting orders in commas
sion house hands. There is the con-
slant menace oe sudden ic!!s!cs! de-
yelopments, which Is curtailing trade
Meantime, any wheat which Is in posi-
ton to be rapidly delivered to milling
or expert interests is commanding Dig
premiums over the utures. Northwest
ern millers hint at a, flour famine IN
the east unless shipping conditions
improve It is believed that effective
pressure Is being applied, and that the
grain trade will soon be given due
consideration by freight carriers.
Corn-There has been buying OF
corn this morning that suggests fresh
export inquiry, and it is probable that
some new business conditions Is the
principal encouragement Of the bull:
Oats-Oats were relatively firm, raj
lying sharply after an early break. A
better inquiry is reported for cash
oats and the shortage In all positions
in the east is becoming acute. The
huving side on breahs looks better.
