Chicago, March %.-Rain was the, topic
just now. 1t dwarfs all other considera-
tions and traders both great and small
are airing their meteorological knowledge
on every side. To-day's action Of prices
hinged entirely on the question of precip-
itation in the west and southwest to the
exclusion of everything else. Values fluc-
tuated with the varying weather reports,
but at the close buying by shorts led to
a recovery from the extreme weak point
of the day May wheat opened at 55lIc,
sold between sac and 559sc, closing at
55hc-Ac lower than yesterday. Cash
wheat was easy, sales averaging hMl2c
lower.
Corn was swayed by the motion Of
wheat. There was nothing of particular
Importance in the news, and most of the
speculation was withdrawn from this and
found action I'm the more interesting pit.
Prices were sensitive TO the surround
ings rather than to direct information per-
tanning to corn The opening was firm.
but later an easier feeling existed. May
corn opened at 1910 decline TO 46h@46Ac,
closing 1t 463sc-1sc under yesterday. Cash
corn was in good demand. Prices in that
department were not noticeably changed
from yesterday.
oats showed some strength to-day, al
though the sympathetic feeling between
them and the other grains was still In
evidence May oats closed ls6DAc higher
than yesterday. Cash oats were steady
and unchanged.
Provisions-At the opening produce was
higher than II was at the closing. No
one cared 20 take the chances of selling
short and those who were owners were
equally as opposed to disposing of their
property. The bullish sentiment in pro-
visions is very pronounced, and the views
of leading packers impressed all inter-
ested in the trade most emphatically.
The hog market was Sc higher to-day.
but the advance in the product was out
Of proportion to that slight gain The
full advance was not held throughout,
but at the close a goodly part was re-
tanned May pork closed 125zc higher than
yesterday, May lard 10c higher and May
ribs 17izc higher.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening Highest. Lowest. Closing.
