Chicago, March INoon.-The market
opened for wheat, May, $3.50; common,
sos bid; RIBS May, S622l5.
Chicago, March 27.-After industriously
applying themselves TO bulling wheat to-
day, the scalpers and local traders found
them elves but little better off at the
close than they were at the start prices
breaking fully q of cent during the
sentially local, the outside taking but lit
tie part in the buying or selling. The
dry weather to pick was again discussed
in all its bearings, and was the main ex-
cuse for the advance that was engineered.
Southwestern Spectators are alive TO the
situation and were furnished full quota
of damage stories, but past experiences
teaches that these reports are too often
exaggerated. Dow, Jones d Co. had for
eign information Of bad crop conditions in
England, France and Russia, with Spain
and Germany more favorable. Iiverpool
opening cables were lower and the close
steady. Continental markets were for the
most part weak and lower. which consti-
tuted one of the principal reasons for the
final decline in prices here. May wheat
opened 55c to 5i7sa55c, sold between 55s4c
and 547sc, closing 55l4c-3sc higher than
yesterday. Cash wheat was nc per bushel
higher.
Corn-SeIlers Of corn were in the minor
ity at the opening and far along in the
morning. 1t was not clearly defined why
the offerings we're so light as compared
with the demand. Traders did not pause
10 figure out the situation, but simply bid
prices up until a more evenly balanced
condition existed. When the buying and
selling were on more equal terms corn
became a follower of wheat, frminR and
weakening with that grain. The cash de-
mand anG the light estimates for to-mOr-
row were considerations in favor of
strength. May corn opened at 465sc, ad-
vanced to 1910, closing at 46iac, unchanged
from yesterday Cash corn was Kc per
bushel higher.
Oats-Traders in oats were oppressed
by the same fatigue that usually obtains
in that grain For want of a bear in
fiuence, the tone OF wheat and corn was
accepted as a motive for whatever action
took place. May oats closed unchanged
from yesterday. Cash oats were &c per
bushel higher
Provis:ons-The buying Of product was
better than the selling. although not so
concen trated The notable transactions
was the selling OF a big line OF ribs BY
