Chicago, March 5O.-Until most of the
Mondays statistics on wheat were in to-
day, wheat held firm and higher than Sat
urday, but when II became patent that
no encouragem ent was to be derived from
the facts and figures announced, there was
much haste on the part of the longs TO
sell out. May wheat opened from 63Bc to
64c, sold between 64lsc and 63lbc, closing
at 63ssc-I1G5sc under Saturday. cash
wheat was firm and nc per bushel higher.
Corn sustained its reputation for in
action, prices rejecting the tone of wheat
and declining when the finer grain broke.
When the weakness was its greatest,
there was fair trade, but at other times
there was very little doing. May corn
opened at 29Ac, sold between 1910 and
29lac.
Oats-An ordinary business of no par
ticular consequence was transacted in
oats. The feeling showed fully with
wheat The decline was almost IS great
as wheat. May closed 15c lower than on
Saturday. Cash oats sold at steady prices,
but the close was nominaHy weaker
Provisions-The opening on provisions
was at slightly lower prices than were
recorded a the close Saturday This was
due to weak and lower hog market For
a long time thereafter steadiness marked
the tone, but when wheat began to slip
away product adopted the same course.
and declined QUITE sharply. The close was
at about the lowest point of the session,
with May pork 271zc under Saturday; Nav
lard 71zlp10c lower, and May ribs I2ibG15c
lower. Domestic and foreign markets
were quiet.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
Opening. Highest Lowest. Closing.
