Chamber of Commerce.
Wheat market opened with fair steadi-
hess this morning and some demand
existed at about yesterdays closing
prices. There was no news to affect
prices excepting the weather was colder.
There was nothing in that. however, to
create any uneaSineSS for the future of
crops. 1t was a few degrees below
freezing and necessarily put stop to
spring seeding in the few points where
1T had begun. But slight freeze in
the first half of March was not consid-
cred extra hazardous for the future
spring wheat crop. A little after the
morning hour there was sharp break
IN wheat with equivalent declines at
other places. The break brought
batch of long wheat held on stop orders
and slender margins.
The opening OIL May wheat was at
Sl.034@1 .0419, declining by small frac-
tons and with small fluctuations later,
until about IL O'Clock. when there was
sharp break at S1.03. The Offering
became pretty general fIom country
elevator companies. They offered in
| small and large quantities, but buyers
were not taking it very freely except
ing in 5000 and 10000 bu lots. After
the break prices were pretty steady at
a small advance, with more buyers tax
ing il. Trading in sample wheat was
checked early by the weakness of spec
ulatlve markets, and the activity
was not developed during the
entire day. Receipts show a
slight increase again and the
tables were pretty well filled with wheat
| that contained no more than the usual
proportion of choice milling wheat.
There was little buying scattered all
through the morning, but prices ruled
very unsettled and varied greatly ac-
cording as to the ability of sellers to
make buyers believe thatparticular lots
were just what was desired. The range
OF prices was lower. Receipts were ! As

Neither the grain nor the flour mar
ket has developed unusually important
Or sensational features during the past
week. Both have been rather quiet.
There has been a fair movement in
wheat, while the production of flour has
been somewhat hating and its sale
dull. A week ago there was a furry
in wheat under which one of our
grain dealers was seriously embar-
