CHICAGO, March S-News affecting
the grain and provisions market mani
tanned a good average of bullishness
to-day, and with the exception of oats
which suffered from liquidation, the
close was firm, wheat A@%c higher,
corn a shade lower, oats B@Ac de-
| pressed and provisions unchanged.
At the opening the wheat market ex-
perienced its greatest activity. May
opened &c higher, at 75% to 751ac, I'M
der the encouragement OF higher mar
kets at Liverpool and Antwerp, the lat
ter the chief Argentine market on the
continent and because of unfavorable
climatic conditions. Shorts who be-
came alarmed yesterday, were still
anxious to cover and May was worked
UP to 75Ae during the first hour. Trade
quieted down and profit taking by
scalping longs caused a decline to 75A
@%c. Buying orders, which had been
waiting caught the decline and when
scalpers tried to cover the market
rallied again to 75Ac and closed NO
&c higher at 75%c.
May corr opened H@Kc higher at
AIS to 41Ac under a sharp outside
inquiry and decided scarcity Of Offer
ings both of which were attributable
to bad roads and to higher cables. An
influential Spectator began hammer
! ing the market but although he dump
ed a quantity estimated at 1900, 900 bu.
in the pit, May declined only to 40B.
The buying was we'll disturbed and the
close was only a shade lower at 40B
@41e.
