CHICAGO. March S.-Under the inspi-
ration of cash wheat strength at Liver
pool and New York, wheat futures on the
Board of Trade closed strong, May clos
ing Sac over yesterday. May corn closed
1ec higher, helped by a good cash de-
mand. and May oats shade higher. The
provisions market closed strong; May
pork, 17l2a2oc, May lard 5QI12c and May
ribs 712al9c higher.
At the beginning of the session in the
wheat pit there were concessions which
were afterwards lost sight of-easier ca
bles and the Price Current assertion that
the marketable supply of wheat was
greater than could be distributed before
a new crop. With these things in mind
the market opened easier. May A@Ac
down. at G5$sQ659sc. The factors in
the uneasineSS were soon eliminated,e q
however by the strength of Liverpool
for spot wheat, under which the market
here reacted. AS the session proceeded
the bull position was further fortified by
the strength of New York for cash, talk
of high export business, 30 loads, which
was reported to have been done late
yesterday. and some uneasiness over re-
ports OF more plague cases in Argentina.
May advanced to 66c early and clung
round that figure for some time. Near
the end of the session renewed buying
pressure resulted in a bulge which car
ried May to $3.50. The close was strong,
May S4c over yesterday. at 66$s066lhe.
Atlantic port clearances in wheat and
flour were equal to $4,000. New York
reported IS loads taken for export Pri-
mary receipts were 64S,000, compared with
69i 900 last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 524 cars against $50 last week
and So a year ago. Local receipts were
q cars. of contract grade.
The corn market was strong and fairly
he : laa
lower at 347s4S5c, iii sympathy with the
early dip in wheat, but thereafter the
course WAS upward Country offerings
were very light it was reported; roads
very bad for the movement, and receipts
moderate, while a big cash business was
being done here. Under these influences
May turned firm, selling for some time
around S51sA$5Hc. Shippers and provi-
