CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—Under the influence of large Argentine shipments and_ lower English cables extreme weakness pervaded the wheat pit at the opening. The markef .appeared to be in an over-bought condition and. the bearish advices from forelzn markets served as ah excuse for general profit-taking. — Opening prices were rather erratic. Initial sales of May were made at $1 05@1 07; high, $1 07; low, $1 043%; close, $1 04%; a decline of lic to 215c from last night's closing. For a time the selling was fast and furious. When the July delivery touched 95%c there were large buying orders. The crowd took the fact as a hint that the firmness of wheat was per- haps no more than a.flash in the pan. The demand seemed to be as urgent as it had been at any time during the present bull campaign. A full recovery was made, May advancing to $1 07 and July to 98}c. 'The market turned weak again during the latter part of the day. Open selling of both May and July by the lending longs started prices on the downward grade. Moderately bearish reports of the con- dition of the winter wheat brought out some selling, while intimations of an increased 4 | movement of grain added to the depression. The selling became general and prices rapidly declined. May dropped to $1 04% and July went back to 96c. Covering by shorts caused but the close was weak, with July closing at 96%c. Lower cables caused weakness in corn at far a treasure list of $214,921 ST, consisting of 19 in Mexican dollars and $2230 in gbld coin or Hongkong and $207,872 &7 in silver bullion for Shanghai. The British steamer Doric arrived Thursday with 2,100,000 gold yen from Japan. consigned to the following banks: International Bank- ing Corporation, 800.000: Anglo-Californian Bank, Ltd. 800,000; Hongkong and Shanghal Banking Corporation. ‘All rates remain unchanged.

The Chicago market was lower and wires from | there said that the markets were apparentiy $4 4 4 [ERRRRE AA5ER%R TR OEFER there was less uneasiness as to what might , happen. ‘fhe Minneapolis Market Record says that the receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth up to | February 1, the amount ground by interior | milis and that held in country line elevators make an aggregate of some 122,000,000 bushels. Farmers will_require 20,000,000 bushels for ready gome from last year's crop. From now until next August the mills in the Northwest | will. require some 70,000,000 bushels to run | them at their usual capacity. Of this amount i the farm to supply. that demand. The Handels Zeitung of Buenos Ayres states that the loss to the Argentine crop by frosts was not over 150,000 tons and that the export- able surplus will probably reach 92,000,000 bushels, against 64,000,000 last year, 24,000,000 in 1902 and 38,200,000 in-1901. This market was firm as to cash grain, but futures ‘were considerably lower owing to the decline ‘at Chicago and the heavy rain. CASH WHEAT. | Club, $1 421,@1 47%; |8 52%4@1 57% per ctl. FUTURES.

Butter was off a cent again vesterday, with a very dull and overstocked market. The best | price for creamery at-first hands in lots of | any size was 23c, but a number of houses which had none wére obliged to o out into the | street and buy to supply their regular trade. | This created a second-hand market a cent or two above first-hand quotations and confused | the situation. The quotations below are for | unbroken packages at first hands as specified. | Therc is practically uo market for Cheese. Sellers take what they can get and let it go at that. The shelves are crowded with stock. Eggs dropped about 2c yesterday. The re- céipts during the past few days have been | excessive, rains have done much to stop | local business. and in consequence stocks have accumulated until they are standing around on the floors in large piies. How to work them off is a question which is puzzling the trade. Those large retailers who receive Eggs direct from the ranches are doing their share toward breaking the market by offering to retail these Eggs at wholesale rates, and the result may be_easily Imagined. Receipts were 39,400 Ibs Butter, 1368 cases Eggs &nd 27,100 1bs Cheese. 1 BUTTER—Creamery at _first hands, 23 for extras, 22c for firsts and 20@21c for sec- onds; dairy, 18@22c; store Butter, nominal; | cold 'storage, 20G2lc for extras, 18@19c for | seconds and 16@18c for ladle-packed. | CHEESE—9G103c for good to cholce mew and 8GS%c for lower grades; Young Americ: 10g1ic; Eastern, 15G16c; Western, 14@15¢ | per_Ib. } EGGS-*Ranch, 20@2lc; store, 18@19 per dozen.
