CHICAGO, March 3.-Wheat waobled little at
the opening. then became strong and marked a
substantial advance. but weakened again later,
closing easy at about the lowest figures OF the
day and at a decline of &c compared with the
final figures yesterday. May opened &c lower
at Gle. sold at 905sc, improved slowly TO 9lssc;
then on heavy short selling and liberal realizing
on long wheat there was some yielding in prices
and May touched 9l14c, but there seemed to be
no loss of confidence and buying again became
sharp, followed by reaction, during which the
lost ground was recovered. Then during the
last hour the crowd, which had loaded up on
strong cables, undertook to realize, but found
little demand. About the same time some pri-
vate advices quoted lower prices abroad, and
some of the leading houses turned sellers
and weakness ruled. May went on
TO 9o3sc and closed at 9O16c. The
break in pork was also a weakening factor
Corn was quiet, steady and nearly featureless;
there was little business and fluctuations we're
to hold corn steady until it broke in the aft
ernoon, when corn weakened some in
sympathy. Fluctuations OF the day were
confined to 14c range, and the close
was UNCHANGED compared with yesterday.
Oats were duh and within Ac range and
closed &c lower. Hog products opened
higher, especially for pork, due to smaller
ceipts OF live hogs and an advance of 50bi0c in
prices Early sales were at 81 IS, but there was
rush TO sell. packers being in the
to 81 2216 in the forenoon. During
the last hour the pressure was increased and
prices went off to S1l 1915, but rallied near the
close to 81 20, loss of zoe compared with
yesterday. Lard and ribs sympathized with
pork but with less marked fluctuations. The
former shows loss of NC and the latter Of sc.
