CHICAGO, March PA frost scare
was the alpha and omega of the days
influences in the wheat pit. 1t advanced
the price of wheat &c per bushel for
time, but there was bare sc gain at
the close. Corn made &c advance and
lost it again. Provisions were firm, and
secured the larger portion of the days
advance.
Wheat opened with a good general
demand for May at shade higher price
than it closed at yesterday. The wealth
er for this season of the year was ex-
tremely cold in some sections. The fear
of perhaps Is or 20 degrees of frost
spreading down into the winter wheat
belt caused some covering of short
wheat, and advanced May in about
twenty minutes from 5Sc, at which it
opened, to 5S1405S3sc. New York sent
a good many orders TO buy in short
wheat. Ii. V. Lester led in the buying
at the opening, and took perhaps 1000,
COO bushels in the first fifteen minutes
OF the session. Other commission
houses were also fairly well supplied
with similar orders, but the first batch
having been executed the market set
tied down into Quietude at around
5S1s@5914. When the weather service
predictions of a cold wave for the
greater part of the winter wheat region
tomorrow changed the character once
more of the chorus in the pit, the voices
of the bulls again began to predOmin
ate. The price began to rise. and 5S119c
was registered for May on this second
bulge. Then the local crowd having
loaded up early in the day. seeing no
frost on the windows of the trading
hall, and hearing of no fresh cash bust
ness, commenced to unload, and the
price got pack again to SIC for n mo-
ment and closed with sellers at 5S1sc.
The corn market at the opening was
about steady at the same price 1t closed
on the preceding afternoon. The
strength in wheat helped it some after
that, and then came estimates for an
other days small receipts and de-
mand iii the sample market for the cash
offerings in excess of the supply. L. Nj.
Baxter, Schwartz .Dupee and sRumsey-
Lightner were among the more notice
able buyers and Bartlett Frazier the
chief sellers. The market eased off with
wheat toward the close.
Oats opened shade easier, but
shortly afterward, when signs of
strength became noticeable in corn, the
market rallied and was slightly irmer
during the greater part of the rest OF
the session, but closed at last nights
figures.
The provision market was strong at
higher prices. The quantity absorbed
by yesterdays purchases left the mar
kct quiet bare. The demand continu-
and tho nffaripuc hoipr Iiuht 10
advance under the circumstances was
as a matter of course. Baldwin-Abbott |
