CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO, ILL, March 11.-True to
! nTipe
following the issuance Of the government
| report yesterday. The report was In it.
| self n bulish argument, estimating, as
it did, the farm reserve at SS,O0O0OO
bushels. but the quantity OF 'long" wheat
which pressed on the market was over
towering I'm its force and the conse-
| quence was seen in a net loss OF almost
| 2 cents per buShel. The news concerning
the European political situation was
again pacific and Liverpool ignored the
| figures on American farm stocks by re-
naming stationary in price. Until noon
the action of the market was hesitating
but after that hour there was only one
course-and that was downward.
May wheat opened qt from = IA
to "a 1-2c., sold between "a IL and Y La
Y 5-Sc., and closed at u 7-Sc.-l 3-4ql 1-Sc
under yesterday. Cash wheat was steady
early, but closed nominally weak and
/ 9-4c. lower. with the futures.
Corn-The government report OF farm
reserve of ,164 100000 bushels of corn had
a weakening influence on this market,
causing prices to drag at the opening.
When wheat strengthened, subsequently
corn followed the lead. and recovered a
fraction of the earlier loss. An easier
tone developed in the last hour. the
break in wheat exerting an adverse in
huence. but prices suffered little. May
corn opened at "a lac, sold between
"a 3-S and "a and "a 1-Sc.. and closed at
q 1-Sn24 1-4c.-unchanged from yesterday.
Cash corn was steady, closing steady.
! sympathy with corn was the main In
huence in the oats market. but there was
also independent weakness at the start
Nav oats closed a shade under yesterday
Cash oats were steady, closing nominally
easy.
Provisions-The run OF hogs at the
| Yards was small this morning. and the
intelligence from that quarter was e
the effect that prices were quiet and
strong. The natural bond between the
live hog and the product thereof caused
the latter TO display firmnesS under the
circumstances Business was fair, with
| no extraordinary incident or feature Il
record. Late reports from the yards gave
the early advance lost, provisions suffer
ing slightly as result. May pork closed
Sc higher than yesterday, May lard LA
Sc higher. and May ribs sal 1-2c. higher
Hides were fairly active and firm
Prices were quoted as follows: Natives
heavy. 9 l-4c. light, l-4c.; native cows
