Chicago March 28.-Predictions or
freezing temperature for tonight
combined with continued cold weather
throughout the West, was responsible
for the firmness at the opening and
the steadiness which prevailed for
some time thereafter The unexpected
strength displayed by Liverpool was
also a significant factor. The delivery
III lIdL IiidI ktl was dDOuI tSQ ulSU6T.
Trading was extremely quiet and de-
void of feature. Little support was
forthcoming, it being evident that the
short interest had become pretty we'll
covered and pretty soon the market be-
gan to sag. The additions to contract
stocks to-day were very large and this
weakened contract quality. Chicago
receipts were 121 cars, q cars of which
were of contract quality. Out of mix
ing houses 140 cars and $4,000 bushels
No. ] northern were received, making
the total about 203, 1000 bushels. North
west receipts were moderate, Mmneap-
oils and Duluth reporting 1926 cars,
against 473 last week and S44 a year
ago. Worlds shipments according to
Beerbohm, amounted to 100000 bush
els. Letter finally admits that he has
arranged with Armour and Weare TO
deliver some 100000 bushels wheat
which was held for delivery on May
contracts to be shipped as soon as the
boats begin to run. Only narrow
scalping trade was done in corn and
oats. Both markets in the main sym
pathized with wheat opening firm and
weakening subsequently. Provisions
