Future Gram and Provisions.

CHICAGO, March 15.-Bearish sentiment
pervaded the pit at the opening, the cause
being lower Liverpool cables and lower North
west receipts Initial quotations on May were
off AQ%c at 964 d96%c. July was down
14G&c TO 1aG%c at 91hG91%c. In absence
OF any material support the market developed
greater weakness May declining TO 951zc and
July to 9O9sc On the slump there was good
buying of July from an influential quarter.
The demand was so persistent that prices
finally yielded and started upward. Shorts
covered freely on the bulge and there was
also a good commissions house demand. The
advancing tendency was coincident with an
in outside markets. Reports of a remarkable
scarcity of cash wheat and of the strenuous
efforts millers were making to get material
for grinding were pronounced factors in Great
ing a strong tone during the last hour One
Of the reports was TO the effect that St
Louis had sold 200, 600 bushels of wheat to
go to MINNEAPOLIS. As the session drew near
the end offerings were hard to md. In view
of this condition and the active demand clos
ing prices were at the tip-top, May 9712c and
July 93c.
Heavy selling of the July option character
lied early trading in the pit and in conse-
quence the market ruled weak. The close was
strong and practically at the top price. May
selling between 531a and 54%c the close was
at 543kc. July ranged between Sic and 52A c
and closed at 52kc, with a net gain of A@&e.
The action of other grains was largely the
dominating influence in trading in oats. The
close was steady at a small decline. After
opening h@1ac lower at 409sG41c May
ranged between 401k Gb40Lc and Ale and closed
at 41c. July closed with a loss of h@Ac at
The weakness in grain brought out selling
orders in provisions early in the day, For a
time the market showed weakness but with
the advance in wheat and corn a better de-
mand for hog products developed, resulting IN
a steadier tone. The close ON May pork was
unchanged at 81 % and ribs down &c at

The buying was somewhat intermittent but
there was intervening backsets. It was
