CHICAGO, March Wheat today was COM
pletely under the control of the bears, ard they
succeeded in hammering prices down 1a@5sc
There was hardly any sustaining influences
ana the bear sentiment was helped materially
by the developments in the situation. Corn
ana oats were neglected and made but little
! change. Provisions showed irregular declines
drop OF Id in wheat futures at Liverpool
and 1,lS4,000 bu shipped from Argentine last
week continued yesterdays weakness in wheat
here, when trading commenced. May which
closed yesterday at 65a4c, opened this morning
at from 65A G6slhc. The feeling developed was
a little nervous and several prominent oper-
ators were active sellers. 1t sold about IL
o'clock at 65c, and few fves sold for 1-16c
less. Clearances of wheat and -four from both
coasts for the week were only 2,i07, 900 bu,
against 22O6,000 bu the week before, and
3,2I2,OOO bu on the corresponding week of the
previous year. That also helped the bears
little and when the clearances for twenty-four
hours from the Atlantic seaboard were found
to be very light, and comprised only II, ,7S3 bu
of wheat, the increased weakness which caused
the selling that resulted in the break to 65c,
was started. Another fact which demora lized
the friends of wheat was the Corn Trade News
report, showing that European stocks has de-
creased only 100000 bu during February,
against $1,000, 900 bu decrease during January.
This seems to show that any hope for improve
ment here or abroad based on scarcity in Eu.
rope is hardly warranted.
The result was that many longs who have
been holding on lost courage and threw their
burdens. 1t was this selling more than the
putting OF short lines that gave the market its
black eye On the extreme decline there was
some covering by shorts, which caused some
reaction, but at no time there much
strength developed, and May closed weak at
65isc bid, after having sold to 647sq65c. Corn
was influenced by the weakness in wheat, but
trading was so extremely light that little
change in prices was noted. May opened
shade easier at 301sc and fuctuated within
an eighth range, closing weak at soc bid. Oats
showed no more activity than corn, but was
rather more firm, receiving fair country sup
port May opened unchanged at 2O%c sold to
2lc, and closed at the opening price. Pro-
visions did but little and that for the most
part at a slight decline. The opening was
rather firm on the improved live stock prices,
but weakness of the grain markets soon coun-
teracted this, and at the close pork had de-
clined TIC, and lard and ribs 21ac each.
