Chicago, March 10, noon.-The market

Chicago, March l3.-The bull campaign
in wheat came to an !nglorious end to-day
at the close the victory bearing the marks
of something very akin to defeat. 1t is
true prices have not yet reached the pre-
vious low level but they are so close to
that there Is nothing for holders to exult
over. At the start there was a lingering
mark of yesterdays enthusiasm, but the
day was yet young when even that dis
appeared. The crop damage reports were
showered in from all directions but they
had not even a particle of effect. A weather
bulletin predicting a cold wave over the
winter wheat area during next few days
and higher Paris, did help the market
some but the slight benefit derived there
from only furnished another advantage
10 short sellers and to those who felt
disposed to liquidate. May wheat opened
from SIC to 56stc, declined to Soc, and
closed at 56bG555sc under yesterday. Cash
wheat during the changing hands OF sam
pie lots was easy and Nc per bushel
lower.
The remaining Longs" in corn llqui-
dated to-day and then deserted the mar
ket, leaving the pit to the devices of the
scalpers, who thereafter made the best of
the situation taking wheat as the basis.
After steady opening there was an I'M
supported gradual decline in prices with
the business prese nting little in way of ac-
tivity or attractiveness. May corn opened
from 46% to 469sc, declined TO sac, clos
ing at 45AM455sc-alaBc below the final
quotations of yesterday. Cash corn was
about steady, sugar refiners taking the
offerings Of car lots al full prices.
Oats-AbOut the same conditions ex-
listed in oats as have been referred to
continuously for a long time past. The
trade in this grain Is looking for some
changing operations to take place, the
oatmeal trust owning a big line in May
which Will likely be transferred into July
at no distant day. May closed nc under
yesterday, the decline coming through
the weakness of wheat and corn. Cash
oats sold at steady prices, the nominal
close being steady.
Provisions-No greater agitation oc-
some time thereafter, but when the ses-
sion had well progressed there was a buy
ing of a local character which meeting
with comparatively light offerings, caused
an advance all along the line. II was not
believed there was any concentration in
was widely distributed. The close showed
an advance Of 2212c for May pork and TIC
each for May lard ana May ribs.
Leading features ranged as follows:
