CHICAGO , Peb. 21. Wheat was nervous
end unsettled today nnd IlucHiutlorm cov
ered a wide ratiKC. Nous as n rule wns
bcnrlih , but tomorrow Is a holiday and I he
pervading Lcltcr Influence made shorts
nnxlous to cover. May closed at ? ic ail-
anccl July He higher. Corn and oats were
heavy on free liquidations and closed iiulut
nnd ? Bo lofrer. ProvlHlons show some Ir
regular clinnso In clonltiR price- * .
H looked nt the opening In ivhea > t ns
though 'Ihero won to bo another wild day
In the pit. May was bid for at the com
mencement all the way from $1.0(5 ( to lt.07',4. '
tha higher of the figures being an advance
of l'/4o ' over Sn-tiirady's closing price. Most
of the bidding wns al $1.00 anil llho prlco
nultlcd ( hero for a moment. Then It rose
rapidly to $ l.07'4. ' declined a cent and
Harked back more slowly to $1.07. July \\tit
affected also , though not showing mich
inpld or violent fluctuations. July opened
ft froni 92o to lie , or Ho lower to % c
hfchur than Situnlny's closing l/i.ure / < T. nnd
advanced during the llrst bulge in May to
9.1c , falling by a reaction to 92'4 and a
nubse < | uent t.tlly to a3'c. ' ! 1 ho break In
New York stocks and the war talk In the
morning papers undoubtedly had A good
leal of Intltiencv on nbortH , whoso anxiety
I o cover was responsible for Pie nervous-
nc'HS thu niiiiket dlsplayeil. Some bullish
Htrength was also Imparted by the Htcndy
filling off of northwest ictelp's , Minneapo
lis and Dulutli reported 3.X ) uirx , against
XII last week. Ljst week's receipts , how
ever , \MTP foi I wo days. Chicago received
70 oars ) , Ct of which were of conduct grade.
World's Hblpmi-ntH were heavy nt 7,371WO
bushels , but tnls wan offset by another
large Increase In Mvtrpaol 'slocks , about
COiUOO ) bushels. The Keller representatives
claim they did nothing with I odny'a mar
ket. Thu crowd belloxod that a good portion
tion of rthe buylnpwhlch was done on
every soft Npnt , was fet his credit , and
this * belief added to the general norvous-
nesH. There was also n general disposition
to oven up on Hhoil lines as much as p sl-
blo In view of tomorrow's holiday. Wheat
on ocean passage show oil nn Increase for
the week of 2,120,000 bushels. Till1 * provoked
1'vely ' selling from si-altered longs. Up to
midday the market showed a series of
fluctuations more or loss violent , May being
bid < ip at one time to $1.08 , but dropping nj , .
once to $1 07V4. July acted heavier and did
not get n > any time nbovu 91Vic. The visi
ble figures wena distinct disappointment
to the bulls. They showed a decrease of
but 301,000 bushels nnd but for the heavy
deiTcnso nt Chicago , ow Ing no the Loiter
; - .shipments tin re would probably have been
L. nn Increase. Free selling of July and May
both followed this announcement. July de
clined to 91Hc and May to $1 OB Toward
the close a sudden bulge In the New Yotk
tnnrknt and the good oxpoiU business from
Atlantic poits , fi7JoOO bushels , Injected some
Htiength Into the dropping in irket , and , i
slow rally followed. At the close May was
bringing $1 00 % and July 92c.
There was heavy sellingof corn from
every direction. The market stai'tcd strong
and higher In sympathy with wheat , but
heavy liquidation started nt once and prices
soon lost the early advance. Heavy local
receipts , a visible Increase ot 1,33T,000
bushels , also encouraged shott selling.
Country offerings were small and cables
firm. May ranged from 31c 'to 30c nnd
closed ! 4c lower at 30o.
Oats wns tmnllar to that of corn In Us
notion. The start was strong with wheat ,
but the market soon yielded to general
selling and lack of supjroi't and acted weik
the rest of the day. The visible decreased
CGO.OOO bushels , but this apparently had no
effect. May ranged from 'J7HC to aHic , and
closed % c lower n't 2i ( 4C.
Provisions were fnlily active and Irreg-
ulir. Opening strength with grain and a
firm hog market was followed by general
mnivll * declines on .selling by packers and
holding of 'inall lots. Aflter that prices did
not change much. L.ird war/supported more
than pork or ribs and closed steady. May
pork closed 2V4c lower ut $11.00 ; May lard ,
2V o higher at $5 25 , and May ribs , 2 > , Ac
lower at $5 25
Estimated receipts Tuesday : Wheat , 37
cars ; CDIII , 330 ; oai's , 250 ; hops , 20,000.

llccelpts loiliy were 121 c-irs , hardly nn
average Monday's run. Supplies of nil
kinds ot stock were consldeiably smaller
than a week ago.
CATTI-iD The supply fell about NX ) short
of Inst .Mondxj's arrivals. In quality the
offoilngs were not very deslr.iblo as u rule.
There wote very few strictly good fat
beeves und u rnft of half-fulled and snort-
fed slock.
lleef Sleers On account of the rather
bullish tone lo leports fiom other markets
nil classes of buyets were out early after
supplies. As they found only a small nr-
ra > of desirable rattle on sale competition
was lively and the offerings were quickly
picked up at prices : > e to 1'Jc higher than
last week's closing tiuotallons. Tno under
tone to Ihe irade wns very strong , und by
the middle of the forenoon practically
e\ei > thing had changed hands.
Hutchcts' Stock There w-etc about
twenty loads of cows < ind heifers on the
maiket but toe demand was somewhat bet
ter than toward the close of last week und
nil decent offerings sold fully a dime higher
than on Saturday. SDHIC very nice heifers
brought $3.90 and $400. Veal calves were
soaice and flrm und beeves , oxen and slugs
sold nt full steady last week's closing quotu-
Sloc'kers and Feeders Wlfi less than a
dozen loads of this description on sale the
trade wns naturally very limited. There
was a good line of buyers and trade ruled
reasonably brisk nt fully steady prices. The
volume of business , however , was not very
large. Representative sales :
