WHEAT—Liverpool futures were higher and Chicago rose ic. The advance at Chicago w attributed chiefly to an improved Flour de- mand, a better cash demand, from millers and an improved forelgn situation. The improve- ment in the Flour market was plainly visible. The St. Louls Modern Miller said: “During the late spell of wintry weather conditions the winter Wheat crop has been well covered with snow in the larger portion of the principal producing States. Over a con- siderable territcry In the Southeast and South- west snow protection has been scanty or en- trely lacking during the severe cold weather. No reports of damage from low temperatures have as yet been received from the unpro- tected sectioms.’ The San Francisco market was also reportel in better condition. There is more inquiry and not so much offering. Operators express the opinion that bedrock has been touched. Sim- flar conditions are reported from the north. A large Oregon and Washington house writes that it considers the market unduly depre and that the bottom has been struc at some competitors loaded up some time ago at high prices and have since forced sales. but that this liquidation has now about ceased and that a better tonetis now apparent.
