CHICAGO, March S.-Under the in
spiration of cash wheat strength at
Liverpool and New York, wheat flu
lures on the Board of Trade were ac-
tive and strong, May closing %c over
yesterday. May corn closed 1ac up,
helped by a good cash demand and
May oats a shade higher. The pro-
visions market closed strong, May
pork 17A@20c, May lard 5@71ac and
May ribs 71a@10c improved.
At the beginning of the session in
the wheat pit there were two consid-
erations which were shortly after
ward lost sight of-easier cables and
price current" assertion that the mar
ketable supply of wheat was much
greater than could be distributed be-
fore new crop. With these things
in mind, the market opened easier,
May h@Ac down at 65as@651ac to
65h@655sc. The factors in the east
ness were soon eliminated, however,
by the strength of Liverpool for spot
wheat under which the market here
reacted AS the session proceeded
the bull position was further forth
fled by the strength of New York for
cash, talk of a big export business
so BOAT loads-which was reported to
have been done late yesterday and
some uneasiness over reports of more
plague cases in Argentina. May ad-
vanced to &c early and chung around
that figure for sometime. Near the
end of the session renewed buying
pressure resulted in a bulge which
carried May to 665sc. The close was
strong, May &c over yesterday at
663s @6612c.
Atlantic port clearances in wheat
and -four were equal to 100000 lush
els. New York reported % loads TAX
en- for export. Primary receipts We're
GAS, 900 bushels compared with SOL 900
bushels last year. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 524 cars against $50
last week and $50 a year ago. Local
receipts were % cars, one of contract
grade.
The corn market was strong and
fairly active The opening was easy,
May 1sc lower at 347s@35c, in sym
pathy with the early dip in wheat but
thereafter the course was upward.
Country offerings were light, it was
reported roads very bad for the move
ment and receipts moderate while a
big cash business was being done
here.
Under these influences May turned
firm, selling for some time around
35h@35Ac. Shippers and provisions
people were good buyers. Later in
the session the advance was carried
still further on reports of an excel
lent export demand and in sympathy
with wheat May pushed on to 351ac
at which the market closed $50 1ac
over yesterday. Local receipts were
293 cars, 80 cars under the estimate.
New York reported As loads taken for
export Clearances were AL, 900
bushels.
Oats were dull, but steady with corn
and closed firm. Receipts were mod
crate and the shipping demand slow.
213 cars were received here. May
ranged from 23ssc to 231ac and closed
shade improved at 233s@231ac.
The provisions market opened I'M
changed, but the development of a
good cash demand, both domestic and
export, together with light offerings
and the strength of grain caused a
rally and some activity. Liverpool
WAS Oh higher loI ldiu anu TIC ucuduu
here was especially good. May pork
ranged from $40 571aG1O so and clos
ed 171s@20c over yesterday at
