Whlle the weakness was not quite SO
pronounced as at the close last night,
shorts had no difficulty in covering
contracts on a declining market. AS
the session advanced offerings of July
option became very heavy, and the
market ultimately turned very weak.
July opened at a reduction of about
nc and after holding steady for
snort time, during which traders hesl-
tated, the market turned downward.
Wheat was thrown over from all direc-
lions and prices were hammered down
over a cent. A good deal of nervous
ness was manifest at the lower level,
and slight improvement was enjoy
ed. The contract wheat additions
were not so heavy, II of III cars re-
ceived being upto that grade, while
40 cars and 5000 bushels came from
mixing houses, in all $4,000 bushels.
Northwest receipts were 261 cars
against 334 last week and 231 last
year. The Liverpool market was
weak, cables coming sd lower. May
wheat was stagnant. The price hard
ly moved from the fixed figure of

slow and showed no independence,

wheat, and showing weakness accord

and the market was weak all day.
Wheat and corn were the influences.
A good deal of long property was dls-
posed of, scalpers and professional
shorts also pressing the market
There was some rally from the Dot
tom on covering. Cash demand was
good att the decline May ranged
from 26@261sc to 25ss@2512c, and
closed 1sc lower at 2515@255sc.
Provisions were in the main STEADY,
considering the weakness in grain.
This was factor early, there being
some sympathetic selling, and prices
declined somewhat Offerings at no
time were heavy and moderate buying
by shorts on the decline caused a re-
covery, the market ruling steady
within a narrow range to the close.

PRODUCE.

Chicago, March 16-The exception
ally favorable weather caused the
most general liquidation in the wheat
market to-day that has taken place for
some time July wheat at one time
showed break of nearly two cents.
Covering by shorts was responsible
for the change. Corn and oats slif-
fered from the liquidation in wheat,
and closed sc lower and Zee lower
respectively. Provisions were slow,
and showed little change at the close.
Wheat was very weak at the open
ing. The bearish sentiment among
traders on last nights curb, resulting
from the continuance of remarkably
favorable weather prevailing over the
entire winter wheat section, was re-
fiected fully. Opening prices for July
ranged from S5ss to 80 sc, against yes
terday's closing of S57sc, For 2 mo-
ment or two the market heistated.
The option decline itself was sufficient
to induce covering in moderate de-
gree, and the market recovered a frac-
ton, selling at S51ac. That, however,
was the extent of the bulliShness.
Offerings soon began to come in from
all directions, holders apparently
being discouraged at the excellent
crop prospects. The decline also
brought in stop loss orders and the
pressure was greatly increased by
prominent ST. Louis operators, offer
ings from that source being exception
ally heavy. The market fell pretty
steadily to sac, becoming quite ner-
vous around the bottom. A reaction
then ensued. Professional shorts and
many early sellers came in to cover
lines showing good profits, and the
market gradually assumed degree of
steadiness. BY noon prices had re-
covered to S5c During this time May
steadily held at 81 04 by the Letter
interests. and that price in fact was
maintained throughout the session, al
though one or two sales were made at
81 G3b. Besides the fine weather,
which was the overshadowing infiu-
ence. there was a good deal of bear
ishness in the routine news. North
west receipts were 261 cars, against
334 last week and 231 year ago.
Chicago receipts amounted to Ill cars,
II Of which were of contract grade.
The total addition to the contract
stocks to-day amounted to $4,000 BUSH
els, so car loads and 1900 bushels
coming from private houses. Liver
pool cables showed weakness all day.
Clearances were light, 17S,000 bushels.
After noon the market declined.
Shorts by that time had been filled
IN and when the market lost this sup
porting influences prices sagged at
once. This brought sellers into the
market again in increased numbers.
July from S51sc, which point was
reached for a short time, was pounded
down to s4ssc and was bringing $40
S45sc at the close.
Corn suffered from liquidation and
short selling, and prices declined
sharply in consequence. Fine weather
and the wheat weakness were the
factors. Selling was quite general all
day and but little support was given.
A fairly good cash business was done
on the decline May ranged from
297s to 291sc and closed sc lower at
23h @29ssc
Liquidation in oats was quite as free
and general as was the case in corn,
