COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
General Liquidation wsakens Grain Pits on
Board OF Trade.
WHEAT, CORN AND OATS ALL DROP
Heavy sales and Sympathy with
Cereals Garry Provisions Down
In spite of strong Hold
ing HOG Market.

CHICAGO. March 2l-Quite general liqui-
dalton In the grain pits caused weakness IN
all the markets and May wheat closed ~
lower. May corn Was down. %axe ano osi,
and MAJ products being on from 5GI11c TO
INC.
wheat and that option ruled weak, while
the July delivery was quite firm. Openins
prices were firm on steady cables and on
covering by shorts who were somewha'
alarmed on account OF the colder weather,
May being hqhc to haNc higher at ISq
l3isc. After the fret half hour the news
discouraging, and there was a general dis
position to sell May, with some changing
from nTs@ua Nay 6ysch i0 J IN he W nesPby Te montS. rh'
small decrease IL the worlds visible and
the weakness in the outside markets added
to the depression. and with no show OF sup
shorts caused a slight rally late In the day,
but May closed NC lower at 73d12lsc,
TO $4,000 bushels. Primary receipts werJ
$4,000 bushels, against A1,OO0 a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
OF l5 cars, which with local receipts o. 81
cars. made total receipts 1S2 cars, against
go last week and 34 last year.
Corn was quite active throughout the
davl but after a little frmness at the start
the market developed weakness and lower
prices ruled. The opening was firm on
strength in wheat. but longs in the May
option were disposed TO liquidate and with
only a moderate demand that delivery be
came weak. July. however, held relatively
firm, being at a premium over May at one
time. There was considerable changing
from May to July, which was largely re-
sponsible for the better tone of the more
distant option May closed %uAc lower
at 427bd43c, after ranging between 42Ac ana
l35tc. Local receipts were 23 cars.
There was heavy Liquidation OF May oats
by tired holders. while there was also con-
siderable changing to the July delivery. As
a result of this selling movement the
nearby month was exceedingly weak, but
July held fairly steady. The offerings
were taken mainly by shorts q and there
was little effort made TO support the mar
ket. May closed 1%c lower at 3iAd1Ac,
after selling between 31ssc and 33Ac. Local
receipts were 1929 cars.
In spite of a strong holding market hog
market provisions opened barely steady
and the early weakness was augmented
later by selling by brokers and In sym.
pathy with the decline In grains. Trading
was fairly large. but mostly local. The
close was weak. with May pork down 22lzc
at SlT.S0, May lard of t2hc at $40 and ribs
bd7ihc lower at S9.S0d9.S21k.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
IS cars; corn, 20 cars; pats. 1856 cars; hogs.

SHEEP-There was quite a liberal run
of sheep and lambs on the market this
morning, but the demand continued very
active, so that a brisk and strong market
was experienced. The same as was the
case yesterday, everything at all desirable
changed hands as rapidly as. unloaded and
the. prices paid ranged strong to a dime
higher than yesterday. The quality of the
bulk of the offerings was hardly up to yes
terday's standard, so that the market on
paper does not look as high as It really was.
Ewes of fair quality, though, sold as high
as $50, h some wethers brought $500.
A good many trains were late in arriving,
but trading continued brisk from start to
finish.
There was no change in the feeder situa-
tion- Very few were offered and the de-
steady.
