CHICAGO, February 14.-Steep up
turns in the price Of wheat took place
! In Chicago today. with transactions on
| big scale. The advance here prompt
~ followed a surprising rise which
had been registered yesterday at VIM
| nipeg, Liverpool and Buenos Aires.
while business was being interrupted
! in the United States by a holiday.
Dealers here attributed the advance
chiefly to world scarcity and to heavy
buying on the part of foreigners.
Opening quotations here varied from
SH to 6H higher. with May 1.37 to
| 1881 and July 1.22 to 1.23. These fig-
| ures proved to be the topmost reached in
the early trading. inasmuch as sales
| to obtain profits broadened out, and,
for at least the time being, checked any
| further gain.
Corn and oats mounted in value with
wheat, though to a much less degree,
the receipts Of corn here today being
unusually large and offsetting to a
| noticeable extent the influence of the
wheat market advance. After opening
es to tx higher. May 59% to 60as. the
corn market gained little more and
then receded somewhat.
| oats started "a to y higher, May Al,
| and later reacted bit.
| Higher quotations on hogs helped to
| hit the value Of provisions.

Moderate wheat downturns. which
occurred during the middle of the
day. owing to sales that were

| ests. We're largely overcome in the
nnai hour on account of persistent
buying, due to a visible supply de-
