COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Grain Pits on Board of Trade Are Weak
and Lower.
PROVISIONS CLOSE EASY AND DOWN
Good Weather and Uninjured Crops
Render Market spirit Bearish and
So DiscouraEes Bulls, who
Try TO Sell out.

CHICAGO. March n.-The grain markets
were decidedly weak and lower today, May
wheat closing lAalsc lower, May corn of
lower.
Dizziness prevailed in the wheat pit and
the sentiment was extremely bearish, the
price of the May delivery declining at one
time neariy llzc and closing near the bot
start, opening at 1SS4Gi33sc to Sac, under
the influence of favorable weather, the
predicted cold wave not having inaterialized
TO the extent Of doing any damage to the
growing crop. A. good deal of wheat was
bought yesterday under the expectation OF
colder weather, consequently was, offered
Tor sale at. the opening, but the demand
was limited and as a result the market
rapidly declined. Considerable long wheat
came out on the decline, which added to
the weakness, and the closing hour OF
the session was exceedingly weak. Final
figures on May were lkqlAc lower at 72&9
Lz}sc, after the price had touched 72%c:
Clearances of wheat and -four were equal
to 254,OUO blu. Primary receipts were $4,000
bu, against 44ISOO a year ago. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts of l9 cars,
which. with local receipts Of Is cars. one
Of contract grade, made total receipts for
the three points of 1871 cars. against 81 last
week and 2S a year ago.
Corn was weak, influenced by the i'm
proved weather conditions and the sharp
break in wheat. Local traders VINO mad
carried long lines over night we're anxious
sellers. and there was also considerable
commission house selling, on outside ac-
E0NhN. @AN @1AA - 49, go
The close was at the low point OF the day,
for May at 1916, a loss OF Sqlc, after
selling between 1850 and AAc Local
receipts were light at LAG cars, two of which
were of contract grade.
There was only a light trade in oats and
no features of importance developed. The
local sentiment was bullish, but the severe
decline in wheat prevented any buying OF
any account, and lower prices ruled. The
close was weak. with May sc lower at
33&c. after ranging between S3ssc and S4ltc.
Local receipts were 257 cars.
Provisions were strong carly on smaller
receipts of hogs and an advance of from
&c to 10c in prices at the yards but selling
by commission houses caused a reaction.
Later in the day a frmer feeling was
manifested on a good foreign demand for
lard. but the weakness in the grain pits
had a depressing influence and the close
was easy, with May pork OFT DC. closing at
S1S.10. May lard was down l21Rc at SlO.O2ta,
while ribs were 10dl25c lower at D.S2h.
Estimated receipts for Monday Wheat,
40 cars; corn, lS5 cars; oats, 25o cars; hogs,
5000 head.
