CHICAGO, March S1.-Uncertainty in re-
gard TO the customs OF pending negotiations
almost holiday character. to trading in
wheat and coarse grains today. There was
q general undertone of hrmneSS, wheat CLOS
ing Isc higher for July. Corn advanced &c
very firm, affected by talk Of large orders
for naval supplies, and closed 7l2Q2Oc higher.
Wheat opened about Sc l S gOI for July Ss
early drop in Wall street prices acted as a
disturbing influence. Prices soon recovered,
however. The bulls derived comfort from
the falling off in Northwest receipts, Mime
apOls and Duluth reporting 22O cars, against
394 last week, and 5S7 year ago. Though
this did not result in much increase in the
buying demand, it stopped the short selling
and liquidation in a degree. and prices slowly
recovered to S2AGS22sc. The usual selling
by scalpers who are satisfied with fractional
profits then set in, and decline to s17sc en-
sued.
Trading was extremely narrow, amounting
at times almost to stagnation. The uncer a n
~ IN regard to the ultimate settlement OF the
Cuban question acted as a drag on the mar
ket traders preferring to wait until some
thing definite was known before venturing too
far either way. In consequence fluctuations
were confined to an exceptionally narrow
range, the market at no time getting above
$3.50, while opening figures marked the low
point Of the day.
Almost nothing was done with May, and
that delivery held steady at practically a
nominal value, $1.032. 1t did drop at one time
covered as soon as the pressure was removed.
July, after the action to S17sc recovered
again to S21sGS2Ae, and held at that price
to the close. with nothing but narrow
scalping trade being done. On account of the
dullness routine news, other than stated, had
scarcely any effect. Chicago receipts were
bS cars, Is of contract grade. Besides this. 70
cars and $500 bushels contract wheat were
received from mixing houses, making the to;al
addition TO the contract stocks today about
125,SO0 bushels Atlantic clearances amounted
TO $4,000 bushels. July was bringing S21A@
S2l4c at the close. May Closed at $685..
