CHICAGO, March l2-Everything dealt in on
the board OF trade was again weak and lower
to-day. News was generally bearish and the
conditions rather discouraging to bolders.
Cables were week aud lower and on the con-
tnsnt some Generalization was reported and
especially at Berlin, and one dispatch said that
London buyers had reduced their bids Is
though the first public report quoted
the market weak, but only t0ll6d
lower. Domestic markets ali had a
downward tendency, and the bulls seemed tired
out aud discouraged. Trade was light the de-
mand being largely confined to covering of
shorts. May. opened at 67ss0s79sc, against
o1Ssc at the cl SO yesterday, broke TO S676GDS7c,
rallied 20 6158c, went off to S631c, strengthened
on covering by shorts and closed steady
at S13sc. Corn continued weak and a lower
range of values was again recorded. The weak
ness was due TO liqudations largely by county
holders, the government report evidently having
a Dearlsn influence In the interior and the weak
ness in wheat caused a sympathetic bearish
feeling in the corn pit, longs offering quite
freely. Large receipts we're also weakening
factor. May opened at 493404lc against 42c at
the close yesterday and sold down to 40lSc
Then shorts began to cover, and this,
with some investment buying. stopped the
decline and caused a rally which brought tue
price up to 409Sc at the close. Oats were traded
in freely during the early part Of the session,
but in the last hour the market became quiet
There was free liquidation by the longs early.
and no demand except from the shorts, who
bought literally. Heavy offerings, however,
produced weakness, and May closed at 293sc. a
loss of sc, after having touched 2936c. Hog
products, in the absence Of any other news to
affect prices. were governed large v by tiuctua-
tions Ia wheat and corn. The market was dull
and with narrow fluctuations. Pork and ribs
