CHICAGO, March 1.-Bu1lish po-
l1tlCal news from Europe gave a IC-
tie firmness to the wheat market to-
day. Besides. there was some evidence
of foreign demand. Most of the trad
ing, however, was of a local charac-
ter and the market was easily in
duence6 Opening quotations, which
from Il cent decline to a like
advance. with March 1.66h and May
1861 to 1.57. were followed by mode
rate general gains and then by nu-
changes both ways from yes
terday's finish.
Bearish estimates Of farm reserves
led to considerable wheat selling, but
The effect failed to last. The close
was firm at the same as yesterdays
inish to 1 y higher. with March 1865 y
and May 1.57Z to 1.5S.
Reports indicating that farm con-
sumption of corn had been on huge
scale helped to strengthen corn prices
later. The close was firm, y to A
net higher, with May 69h to 69$.
