CHICAGO. March 22-This was day the
short sellers reveled in. The discouraged
longs in wheat also bought freely. Near
the close, however, indefinite war talk and
colder weather expected for tomorrow re-
habilitated the bulls TO greater or less ex-
tent. and the close for May was but ~ I'M
der that of last night Nearly every phase
of the wheat situation had bearish color
ing in the morning, and a number of the
most stubborn holders lost their backbone.
Apparently the cereal was utterly friend
less in the pit. The Liverpool market was
reported to be &c lower and dull at the de-
cline. The receipts from the Northwest
were larger. Indeed. nearly all the buying
of the day was by shorts, there being little
if any purchases for long account. There
were but few crop damage reports. The
corn market was moderately active and
shows small advance in prices. Oats,
were steady and higher. Hog products
were stronger. Flour, extremely dull
