CHICAGO MARKETS.

CHICAGO March 1S.-Wheat started at IA ad-
vance over Saturdays session The early news
was Of mixed character. Dry NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
the winterwheat country, steadiness in the English
markets and decrease of 224,000 bushels in the
Liverpool stocks since Monday last were the items
from which the bulls drew their courage. Weaker
Continental markets, favorable weather for the
French crop, accompanied by speculative selling
orders from Paris the principal items OF the
early cables which let the strength to the bears
and the market turning from having slight up
ward tendency to a much more decided feeling in
favor OF the opposite direction.
When the visible supply statement was received,
showing decrease of only S44 900 bushels COM
pared with decrease of 142S,000 bushels last
year on the corresponding week, bearish sentiment
became prom. unced a nd the price tnmbled "a be-
low what it was during portion of the first half
hour Another weak feature of the earlier news
was receipts of 459 cars at Minneapolis and
Duluth.
Primary market receipts were 4l3,OOO bushels
The export clearances were rather heavier than
few days back, amounting in wheat and -four to
3s5,UoO pushels. An increase OF 4SO,OOO bushels,
crease OF $4,000 bushels in the English visible
in the latter half OF the session and deep
ened the feeling OF bearishnesS that had already
taken possession of the crowd
May wheat, which opened at from 56s4 G156zsc.
had got as low as 55S4c by 1915 O'Clock. The
strong corn market caused a reaction in the last
hour, May closing at 5634c
The corn market at its irmest after wheat
had reached its weakest, and at no period of the
day was Ii conspcuously weak. Shortly after the
opening it sold at lac below SATURDAYS closing hut
during the remainder OF the day the early sellers
had no chance TO get their corn back, except at
loss. Offerings were light and the heaviest deal
were on the bull side. The market reached its
greatest strength after the publication of the vsi-
bic supply statement, which showed decrease of
$4,000 bushels, compared with increase of
1872 900 bushels year ago
But the fact that places in Illinois whence ship
ments to Chicago had previously been quite free
were now getting from lie to 11ac more than the
Chicago price from Eastern buyers exporting via
East Boston and Newport News, was also strong
element in producing frmness May opened at 46c
improved to 461S@4614c, dropped back TO 1890
and then gained an advance, which became fast
and furious toward the end, the price reaching
1890 and leaving of at 4634046Tsc
Oats were frmer Sympathy with corn and a de-
crease of $4,000 bushels in the visible supply
caused the hrmer feeling. Offerings were taken
quite readily by the crowd. May started at 293ysc
sold at 2914@29$sc up to 2s12c and closed at that
price.
Provisions-The range for May pork was from
SIP O5 at the start down TO $ll rs, with Sll 95
the closing quotation. The respective declines for
the day are 7112c in pork and ribs and sc in lard
