The average tijidcr In this grain is unable to' flguie out ns to the probable pjdclng of this big line of breadstuff. There Is no demand at the piesent time trom cash Buyers In the I'nlted Status or foreign countries, which places the holders of this grain nt the mercy of the buyers, unless there Is something unforeseen to materialise to change the entire situation. A crop scare In tho winter wheat belt would prove the most valuable nssct for the holders of cash grain 'throughout the eounto. aa It would not only drlvo millers of the United States Into tho market as heavy buyers, but It would doubtless develop a demand from importing countries of the world nnd a large part of the surplus would hid new resting spots In tills country as well an In foreign markets. There Is little fear from the political situation abroad, although there are n few possibilities of a chupge for the worse, which would art as ft bullish factor In the markets of the old world. There has been some talk of cash wheat of this country being purchased by men with almost unlimited meanB, with tho Intention of holding this grain for a profit. Theso rumors have been current for some time, but they have again dis appeared without tiny pronounced uctlou being visible. The stock of wheat t Minneapolis and Dulutli Is pretty well concentrated In tho matter of holders und the same may be said of stocks at Chi cago and Kansas City. Thp holders of this grain have suffered heavy losses on the bull side of the market, but 'hey seem to be willing to take another chance as believers In higher prices. fash wheat MitlMc lower. The situation In corn remains without any marked change, as the open Interest Is large, and botli the longs and shorts believe they arc correct In their Ideas. An Improved business on export account has developed in the last few days, and the east is also taking mora corn than a fortnight ago. The opinion Is Advanced i by one of the leading operators In tho lorelgn lnurKcts that Argentine Holders becumu sellers at n prcu which dis counted the very large crop. Cash com lo to 2o lower. Owing to a small movement and light accumulations of oats In the Chicago market one of tho strongest concerns has made a stand In a iiulet way on the bull side.

CHICAGO. Feb. 13.-Cuts In the prlco of flour acted a the last straw today In breaking tho cost of wheat. The grain, though steady at the close, ranged from Ho to P,4c down. Corn finished 14u to lViifflHc of: oats cheaper, 4c to sctiic and privlslons less expensive by 15o to 45474c. Bvldence of tho overloaded condition of tho flour trade formed the principal cnuse of a drop of 44c In No. 2 red wheat at Toledo. For a similar reason cash wheat elsewhere, too, headed down grade, although not to such a decldol ex tent. The mllln were said to have been turning out Hour at practically their .full capacity, but hud fulled to find buyers of late. Offerings, 30c to '60c a barrel un der public quotations, It wns declared wcro now tho rule. Wheat here sagged from tho start, and closed at nearly the lowest figures of the day. Rains throughout India, and big shipments from Argentina with mild weather and liberal primary arrivals In tho United States, all had nil effect In turning sentiment to the "Bear side. Notwithstanding generous export busl ne6s at tho seaboard, corn turned weak, chiefly because of tho bfg receipts. Ar gentina crop estimates wcro enlarged, and renewed attention was given to the domestic shortage of cattlo and hogs. Sellers of oats were unuBUnlly aggressive. There was u prospect thaT farm reserves March 1 would make a remarkable bIiow ing against tho bulls. Provisions suffered a sharp setback In consequence of largo sales by longs. Heavy holdings of pork, lard and ribs tumbled slmultivsUoUHly Into tho pit, and found no adequate support. Art'llelppen. High. Low. Close.l Ye b" y . Wheat! may. July.l Bept. Coin May. July. Sept.
