Chicago, March 2S.-L.uuidation to-
day caused a decline OF 1%sc in May
wheat A good snowfall IL winner
wheat sections and lower cables en-
cCuraged the selling. Corn, cats and
provisions took their cue from wheat
and closed with a loss of &c in corn,
40 PC in cats, 1oc II pork, l0c IL laru
and Zee in ribs.
Milder weather and a heavy fall
OF Stow over a large section of the
wiAter wheat country gave wheat q
weak start. Liverpool sent lover quo
tations to begin with and still lower
at lower stage.
New Y 0rk wired that foreigners were
selling freely at the seaboard The
southwest, which has Of late been the
best buyer turned seller. Local shorts
had covered so freely recently that the
market got little support from that
interest, and with SO much in the sit
uatiCn that was against the price, hQui-
daticn gradually carried the price
down. There VS. a marked feeling CT
in crop damage complaints. 1t was not
claimed that the winter crop damage
which recently has SO narrowed up the
feelings Of spectators has been r.
paired. Nevertheless the action Of the
market suggested an impression that
some such idea prevailed in the pit.
Chicago received 46 cars compared with
112 year ago. Minneapolis and Du-
luth got 514 cars against 273 the cor
responding Gay last year. Primary
western market receipts aggregated
$4,000 bushels against 313, 600 bushels
a year ago. Atlantic port ciearances
Of wheat and -four were 104 900 bushels.
An Improvement of 1919 centimes at
Antwerp and report of the Orange
Judd Farmer making the average con
dition Of winter wheat 82.1 against SOC
per cent. last year were the incentives
that arrested the decline. Bradstreets
statement OF $4,000 bushels decrease
in the worlds visible supply had a
slightly bullish effect, but the bulls
were not aggressive, while the bears
were inclined to press the advantage
already gained, so that no permanent
material improvement was effected
May wheat opened 1a0&c lower at
71$4c, down to 711ac, sold sparingly at
71Bc, and from that gradually down
to 707sc and in the final struggle to
7c%c. 1t closed with buyers at 70Bc
Corn was heavy on quite moderate
amount of speculative trade. The weak
ness of wheat was the chief influence
and lower quotations from Liverpool
likewise helped. Elevator people led
the selling. Receipts 25S cars. May
started Nc lower at 357sc, improved
to 36c, then declined to 35Ssc and closed
with buyers at 351ac.
Oats were weak and lower due to the
liberal selling by longs and the east
ness of wheat and corn. Owing to the
delayed seeding there was a good de-
mand for July. Receipts 329 cars
May began unchanged at 267sc, sold
off to 2G1ac and closed at 26$s @26hc
Selling by packing concerns which
have been the best buyers weakened
provisions. May pork opened un-
changed at s9.271a and declined tc
S9.121s, the closing figure. May LARD
began unchanged at s5.42R and solo
Off to s5321a at the close. The range
| in ribs was narrow.
