Chicago. March e.-The same nervous and
uncertain feeling that characterized the ira
ding in wheat yesterday was still apparent
to-day. As'On yesterday, the feature was the
wheat opened nc under yesterday at COO,
sold al 58hc, back again TO 00c, eased OF to
5eXc and closed with net loss Of ~ for the
day at 5sSc; Corn was moderately active
and susceptible to the changes OF
wheat. AS in wheat, much depends on the
figures which will he issued by the agrlcultu-
raj bureau on Saturday. May corn ranged
between 37@sc637 &c, closing at the latter EE-
ure, a loss OF &c for the day. Oats have
again fallen into their usual dull and quiet
condition The feeling to-day was easy, and
Late buyers were the best sellers,
| owing to the fact that very little
! encouragement was derived from the outlook.
! At the close May was sc under yesterday
| weak and lower, Notwithstanding the fact
! that hogs we're in light supply, and tirmer as
! to values; here was q general disposition
10 sell. The weakness In VIII at and an ex-
! pected heavy run OF hogs during next week
! contributed TO the depression. May pork
closed zoe lower May lard lOc lower, and
| May ribs l2Hc lower.
