Chicago, March 16.-Cables this morn
ing were I'D lower, second cables still SD
lower. Our market opened off about q OF
a cent and after ruling steady few min
utes became weak again. selling down
nearly cents below last nights close, at
this price; shorts covering created an ad-
vance of liz cent. From that on till the
close the market ruled steady and weak
alternately The old set of bears were
disposed to cover their shorts. At least
manifested no disposition to further ham
mer the market, except on strong places
during the session, and then for the pur-
pose of buying in their shorts. The bull
clique appeared to lend little if any sup
port to strengthen the July option, con-
filming their attention exclusively to hold
ing the May. We have had a big break
in wheat, a surprising one considering
that it has occurred in the face of the
May holding without any decline and this
rather leads to the theory that the Letter
crowd must have been short large line
of the July. We feel that the break is
practically over for the time being. and
that this decline must be followed by at
least a, good reaction of several points.
The general situation reflects a less war
like feeling and it seems that the POSSIBLE
tiles of war are by no means as critical
as a few days ago. Corn for the first time
since the break in wheat began, mani
tested considerable weakness, declining z
for the May. We are not surprised at
the weakness in corn, in view of the de-
cided slump in wheat, and unless wheat
is checked soon the corn market will be
dragged lower with it. But our faith in
the merit of corn at these prices is I'M
shaken. Provisions ruled quiet. Receipts
of hogs were fairly liberal, but for the
weakness in other markets, provisions
would have done better.
