CHICAGO. March 2o.-Opening trades in wheat
we're at about lc decline, and slide from there
down was almost without check. Before two
hours OF the session had passed May declined
10 sO14c; but for heavy purchases still further
reduction would undoubtedly have had to be
recorded. There was a reaction from S014c to
SOC, followed by another decline of 1Sc, but
upon an attempt to cover 100, 900 bushels of
short wheat, accompanied by a similar break
for freedom on q, 900 bushels at the last named
price, without an immediate response for sellers
the crowd lashed itself into q miniature bullish
fury for few minutes and ran prices up to
6l1sc, The advance last referred TO was helped
by better closing cables than expected, but
after touching size it again sold OF and
closed at S0Ac. The corn shorts are getting
very nervous over rumors that strong parties
are working TO force a squeeze of May shorts
The May price to-day started around 39l6c wish
sales at $3.50 3e&4c, dropped on early selling to
399s0S9lsc, sold S0AG59I6c. and then up to
4O1kc before O'Clock, getting another lift after
O'Clock and closed at 4014c. Oats were strong
and fairly active to-day. the market advancing
with corn and closing fully sc higher. In pro-
visions scalping was the main feature. At the
close May pork showed an advance of 1Oc, lard
and ribs 21kc.
