Chicago March 11.-remporarily the
value OF wheat suffered from the infor-
nation given by the government report
on farm supplies yesterday afternoon. The
amount of wheat still on the farm was
given as 123 0C0 600 bushels and the effect on
the curb Immediately after the report was
issue and on the market this morning
was to induce selling with more tnan
ordinary freedom People who sold short
yesterday in anticipation of q bearish re-
port and holders of puts took advantage
of the opening to secure pronts, their
purchases affor6ing the main support TO
the market during the morning. IN the
last half hour, reports of sales for eX-
port purposes at the seaboard were cir
cuated and complete recovery resulted.
May wheat opened from 64A to 641sc, az
vanced to 65hc, closing at 647s465c-un-
changed from yesterday. Cash wheat was
steady.
recently lost sight Of the fact that the
last crop was an enormous one, and that
there remains a large share or 1t to come
on that theory. The governments re-
port of 1,O72 900 bushels farm reserve,
was, therefore, but a confirmation OF
what has been believed and consequent
ly had no great influence on the market.
It did not tend to CAUSE any easy feei-
ing, but was. not potent enough to bring
about a decline. May opened at SOc, al
Vanced to and closed at Ac-unchanged
from yesterday. Cash corn was firm to
nc higher.
oats were steady. The range of prices
being &c. Nothing directly bearing on
this grain was received and the slight
variations in quotations were influenced
by the other markets. May oats closed
a shade under yesterday. Cash oats were
firm.
Provisions-The hog market reversed
proceedings this morning, and under lib
eral receipts declined 5H10c. Product op-
ened weak and lower in response to the
decline in hogs, but during the balance
of the session no further losses in value
were recorded, the tone being quoted as
steady. At the close May pork was 1Oc
under yesterday, May lard shade lower
May ribs 212u5c lower.
