Chicago Grain Letter.

Lamson Bros. & Co. s grain letter by pri.
vate wire to the Alamo Brokerage Co.,
203 Alamo plaza, san Antonio, Texas. !
CHICAGO, Ills, March THE wheat
market, for several days past, has lacked
animation and the apathy of trade nat
urally had anything but an encouraging
effect on prices. Traders have found II
exceedingly difficult to get in and out sat
isfactorily, and very little activity was
noted till about noon yesterday, when
considerable wheat was thrown on the
market for sale. This selling was renewed
today, commission houses doing consid-
cradle liquidation, and there was very
little demand noted till 65 was reached,
when shorts and New York parties
were moderate buyers. While the
situation statistically has under
gone no important change during the
ing, which, together with the advance,
curtalled buying orders, and somewhat
changed the sentiment Of professionals.
Foreign markets have shown very little
activity, and the export trade has devel-
oped nothing Of interest; In fact weehly
clearances were disappointing, not so
much from the Atlantic ports, but the
Pacific, where the good Australian de-
mand previously noted, seems to have
two days has brought out more inquiry
for cash wheat, and the msrket next week
may be governed to some extent by the
size Of cash transactions. Shipments from
Argentine are much better than expect
ed, almost up to the average so far This
Is beariSh influence. Some OF the local
traders are looking for further recession In
prices next week, but we have had three
cent break, and on any intimatlon OF
strength shorts may become good buyers.
The report Of weekly shipments from the
Danubian and Russian ports Monday
will cut quite an important figure. Sc
much depends on how much can be OBJ
tanned to supply the consumptive demand
outside Of America.
The corn market has been dull, but
lower. Receipts are showing q gradual
increase which is rather taking the bull
ish edge off the market that existed a
week ago. The grading is also good. The
price is very low, but IL receipts continue
large, and the weather favorable for
moving, II is quite probable that the mar
ket will fall below 30 cents. Receipts OF
hogs for the week have been light. and
the market higher, but provisions have
been heavy, under free liquidation by
holders, and continued selling by the
packers. Some traders are predicting 81
cents for May lard, and perhaps lower,
which, IL realized, will probably induce
good investment buying.
