CHICAGO MARKETS
CHICAGO Feb 26.-For few moments
after the start wheat compared with the weak
ness 1t developed later. was fairly steady
July started 1sc :lower TO 1sc higher at from
ssMc to Sshc, and May nc lower at 81 o.
Letters brokers appeared to have some sup
porting orders in July at the start and for
this reason that month showed steadiness when
May weakened badly. Trading in May was
very slight. There were a good many more
selling orders than the limited demand could
take care of. the result being a decline to
81 Olib The continued increasing production
of contract wheat by the mixers apparently
affected May. Liverpool from Esd to SD
lower and crop reports from California and
India. especially from the latter country, were
very favorable. The weakness which developed
in May reflected in July There was
a good deal of selling out by people who have
who had become discouraged by the recent
downward turn to the market and prices, in
spite of the Letter support, declined steadily.
At around sSMc for July the market hesitated
for time. A period of dizziness and narrow
fluctuations set In. but about half hour
from the close developed fresh. weakness
Under renewed selling OF longs, July getting
down to SS1sc. and May, which had rallied
to. 81 %. declining to 81 olls Shortly before
the close Letters brokers again gave the mar
ket some support, this time in May the buy
ing of line of about 100000 bushels being
suficient to cause a rally in that option to
81 02h, which was the closing price. This
rally also influenced July to a limited extent
stopping the selling pressure, and starting
little covering, under which the price got
back to SSAQSsAc. where it closed.
