CHICAGO. March q - Brilliant vernaI
weather caused during the greater part Of the
day a general disposition 10 sell wheat The
tendency was emphasized by lower Liverpool
cables, although the weakness abroad was due
largely to bearish American advices Commits
sion houses and pit traders alike eager
sellers. Buyers were hard 10 find In conse-
quence the market gradually became weaker
The execution Of a number OF stOp-loss orders
was a fresh clement Of weakness Minneapo-
lis reported four -four mills closed. Further
more receipts from the Northwest showed an
increase Suddenly a. the last hour a radical
change became apparent In a rush to protect
themselves the shorts forced prices up rapidly
Reports from Indiana claiming much damage

bic for the late buying. July closed with a
loss Of lsc at S57sc. May closed with a

Liquidation Of the May delivery caused weak
ness in corn during the first part OF the session
The close was strong, with May a shade lower
at 50 cents. July closed at 493S G49Ibc
Oats suffered during the early part OF the
session from the weakening influence of other
grains July closed at 3T&c. May closed &c
lower at 39lsc
In spite OF decreased receipts Of hogs and
higher prices at the yards there was general
selling OF provisions. Commission houses were
the principal sellers and the buying largely
by packers. Early weakness in grains was the
main cause Of the selling pressure. A better
demand developed late in the day and some re-
coNery was made. The close was steady with
