CHICAGO MARKETS Wheat Was Weak on Cable and Shipments Shorts Did Some Buying at the Low Llaces. Chicago, February 16. Lower cables and liberal shipments from Argentina caused weakness in the wheat market here. Selling was quite general and demand was scattered, the principal buyers being shorts. May opened Vs1 to Cgfec lower, and j during the early part of the session held within the opening range. j Free selling by cash houses and pit traders weakened the corn market.. The selling was due to lower cables, liberal receipts and favorable weather for the movement of the crop. Commission houses were active buyers of May. At the opening May was ysc to y4c lower. Oats were easier, in sympathy with the weakness of other grains. Trading was quiet and business majnly of a local character. A decline of 10c in the price of live hogs started general selling in provisions and resulted in a weak market. At the opening prices showed a considerable decline, but later a moderate rally occurred on covering by shorts. Chicago Grain and Provisions. (Furnished by O. G. Murray.) open close. Wheat.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

Too Many Hogs Sent Prices Down Ten Cents Helped by Unfaforable Reports From Outside. Indianapolis, February 16. Receipts, 7,500 hogs, 1,500 cattle and 400 sheep, against 6,843 hogs, 1,609 cattle and 464 sheep a week ago, and 7,669 hogs, 1,700 cattle and 141 sheep a year ago. The upturn in prices of hogs heretofore this week stimulated the marketing and although the supply today was not liberal it was the largest for over a week. The tendency at the close yesterday indicated a lower market today and with increased receipts and unfavorable reports from other places, there was a decline of 1015c. Packars and shippers were free buyers and trading was fairly , active. Sales ranged from $6.106.25, and the bulk of the supply sold at $6.15(26.20, with more at $615 than any other price. Cattle About Steady. f Cattle supplies in most departments were about equal to the requirements of the trade. The demand was good for butcher grades at steady prices, compared with yesterday. Some kinds, especially cows, appeared strong. There was a steady market for the cheaper grades of steers, but a lack of competition for heavy cattle, and they were slow sellers at a general decline of 10c. There was not much change in feeding cattle, bulls were steady and calves 25c lower. Large Sheep Receipts. Receipts of sheep and lambs were larger than they have been for a week. There were enough to interest all buyers, but the demand was best from local butchers, and after they had been supplied there were hardly enough left for shippers. Trading was active and -a prompt clearance was made at steady prices. Practically all the supply was lambs, and nearly all good enough to bring $7.25. A few ordinary kinds, however, sold at $5.50(26.00. Most of the best sheep sold at $5.00, and culls as low as $3.00. Cattle. Steers Good to choice .

WHEN LULL CAME PRICES WERE UP

BEARS HAD ADVANTAGE IN THE TRADING ON MARKET YESTERDAY. BUYING RALLIED SOME STOCK Bond Market Was Heavy Volume of Easiness Showed a Material Shrinkage. New York, February 1G. Sufficient buying orders appeared at the opening of the stock market to rally some stocks from the depression in which the market closed last night. At other points the pressure continued. There were opening gains of 14 in Lead and Northern Pacific, and a point in Reading and Smelting. Colorado Fuel, Sugar and New York Central were up large fractions Denver & Rio Grande lost 1 and Wabash preferred . The bulk of the commissions in the hands of brokers was purchasing orders, and the room traders, seeing the direction of the outside demand bid up the favorable stocks for a time and helped the rise along. Advances reached substantial proportions in several stocks that were especially weak yesterday. Great Northern preferred and New York, Chicago & St. Louis gained 2, Colorado & Southern first preferred iy and New York Central, Ontario & Western and Colorado Fuel 1. These improvements and several others of similar importance were surendered under renewed large selling at the higher prices. Colorado Fuel and Tennessee Coal fell.l, Cleveland, C, C. & St. Louis 1V2, National Railroad of Mexico preferred 1, Northern Pacific 2, Sloss-Sheffield Steel 2 and Delaware & Hudson 3. Prices fell below last night throughout, but the market became quiet at a rally later. Union Pacific, St. Paul, Atchinson, Missouri Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Brooklyn Transit and others yielded a point or more before the decline was checked. Minneapolis, St. Paul, & Sault Ste. Marie prefered 2. United States eduction preferred 3, Anaconda 44 and American Express 5. The slow hardening movement which followed made up much of the decline. Great Northern preferred rose 4J2 over last night. Northern Pacific 2Yt and Northwestern 1. The volume of business during the second hour showed a material shrinkage from that of the first hour.
