CHICAQO, Feb. S0.-Oraln -markets se
wed sgaln today In a jarted fashion. The
ruling tendencies were for lower priced,
ut the small breaks brought In enough
uylng to prevent material declinee and
the close waa rather firm. May wheat
jlosed unchanged, May corn c higher and
Bay oats Ho up. Provisions closed a shade
to lflc lower.
The wheat market opened with a bearish
Kitlment. Uverpool rabies were lower,
e winter crops In most states had a
perfect covering of snow and more snow
Sas predicted. May opened Wttc to itifcc
lower at 78c and 7774c For a time It was
thought bull markets would prevail, but
the nervousness In the New York stock
market Influenced selling In grains and
Secreased prices. Receipts at primary
Points were liberal and eotport clearance
Were the lightest for some time. May sold
ff to TTSko and then turned dull. There
was little short Interest at the opening,
ut when sellers of today found lower
prices brought out buyers they began to
fover. New Tork late In the session re
iorted fifty-one loads taken for export.
This had an Improving effect and May
nrsook the bear side and sold up to 7S'c.
The close was steady, unchanged, at 78 V
8"4c. Local receipts were 14 cars, one of
contract grade, and Minneapolis and Du
iuth reported 270 cars, making a total for
the three points of 284, against 654 for two
lays last week and 3fl6 this day a year
Igo. Primary receipts were 442.000 bu.,
Igalnst 430.000 Isst year. Seaboard clear
knees of wheat and flour equaled 109,000 bu.
Corn acted a good deal In sympathy with
wheat and almost duplicated Its fluctua
tions. Cables should have brought a bull
ish Impulse. Liverpool showing good
strength. May die try to hold up and
ripened c lower to unchanged at 61M
HHc, but when wheat broke corn followed
sfter and declined to Kfic. Outsiders sold
10 some extent, but the general condition
rf the corn trade helped a recovery. Borne
ten days ago bears began predicting a de
cidedly freer movement of this grain In the
west. It was argued that renters and tax
payers would want to get rid of their
Muff before March t, and It was main
tained that the west, finding corn likely
to get soft, would sell freely. For a few
days Kansas City did get somewhat better
car receipts, but there has been no In
crease to note, and bulla take the tight
situation as indicative of a firm market
for some time to come. This argument,
taken together with the revival In wheat
snd some export business In com and
short covering, worked May up to a firm
close, VftHc higher, at SlHtiSlHc. Receipts
were only 77 cars.
Oats were dull and moved almost - In
duplicate with corn, a shade lower to start,
weak later and firm toward the last. Rhort
selling was carried on early and covering
brought the strength toward the close.
May closed o up at 4Sc. Receipt! were
11 cars.
Although the run of hogs, both here and
at western points, was small and the hog
market good, provisions were weak all
day. The reason assigned for the decline
waa that longs were selling out. May pork
sold as low as I16.62H and closed 10c down
at S15.67I4. May lard closed a shade lower
at $9.40 and May ribs a shade lower at
8. 42 8. 45.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
15 cars; corn, 110 cars; oats, 106 cars; hogs,
0.000 head.

many cases, the same as noted yesterday,

SHEEP There was another moderate run
nf aheen at the vards today and Dackera
took hold In good shape and bought up
the better grades at Just about steady
nrlces. It was noticeable, however, that
while they were anxious for both sheep
and lambs that showed quality and were
fat they were slow about buying common
stuff and particularly those that were not
fat. Sellers who had that class of stuff
found It a little hard to sell out at what
they considered steady prices. Anything
at all desirable, however, sold freely at
good, steady prices and the pens were
cleared In. good season. The tops were
Just about the same as they were yester
day ana tne range ui untca iur uiu uiucr

There were a few feeders In the yards
this morning and they sold readily at good.
steady prices.
