DOUBTS OF CR0P-DAMAGE
REPORTS CAUSE DECLINE.
MANY TRADERS LIQUIDATE
WHEAT HOLDINGS.
Corn Makes Advance on Good
Buying Demand and Lack of
Adverse News.

Chicago, March ,6.-Doubt as TO the Sc
verify OF injury inflicted upon winter
wheat led many traders to liquidate to-
day, causing a weak close. Compared with
last night final quotations on July wheat
are down rc to Ne. Corn is up Ac. Oats
are also up &c. Provisions are practically
unchanged.
WHEAT.
Freezing weather throughout Kansas
and as far south as Oklahoma caused an
active general demand for wheat when
trading began to-day. There was a rush
Of buying orders from commission-houses,
shorts and pit traders. but apparently lit
tie wheat was for sale. The opening quo
tations or July. at ssc to SSssc. showed a
gain Of hGSc TO &c, l cent over yester-
days closing figure. The opening figures
were at the high point of the day. For a
time the market held firm. under the in
fuence of the bullish news from the
Northwest. The cash situation at Mime
apolfs was reported as strong, with a good
demand there for No. 2 red winter wheat,
as well as for the lower grades. Reports
from the same source told Of good flour
sales.
Toward the latter part OF the session
sentiment suddenly changed and consid-
cradle liquidation set in. The selling was
due in part to an impression that little
harm would come to the growing plant
as a result of the sudden changes in tenn
perature and partly because Of q desire
among local s~calpers to even up over
Sunday. Offerings met with little de-
mand, and in consequence the market
weakened p~erceptibly. July closed at the
bottom with a loss of save at S1ic.

SECURITIES ARE DULL

TRANSIT CLOSES SLIGHTLY
EASIER.
Missouri Trust and Title Guaran.
" Are the Only Active
Banking Issues.

Local securities were extremely dull in
yesterdays market. There was prac-
tically no demand for fractions. and.
though bidding for other stocks was fairly
brisk, there was so wide a variance be-
tween bids and offers tina, trading was out
of the question.
Transit was taken at .12 . and later was
offered at that price, and United Railways
preferred was wanted at $3.50 and held at
S+.2. The 4 per cent bonds were about
steady. with SO p bid and s1 asked.
In the banking group Missouri Trust at
Sf12 and Title Guaranty Trust at So were
the only active issues. The same broker
who bought Title Guaranty at So later
bid that for 1t and offered 1t at the same
price.

light receipts were the compelling forces
in the first hour. Later there was the

CORN.
Purchases OF half a million bushels of
May and July delivery by the leading bull
interests were the feature in trading in
corn. There was a fair scattered demand,
but the support from the principal long
was the main influence in creating q
strong market. Reports from Iowa OF
poor quality Of seed corn were minor fac
tors. Offerings came largely from small
holders. but there was NJ great selling
pressure. Prices received some setback
late in the session, due to the in
wheat, but closed firm. After opening

agricultural and forestry expert. repre- senting Barren Spec von Sternberg, the German ambassador to the United States, opened the proceedings of the afternoon session by reading paper on The Worlds Interest in Cotton.' He said:
 "Concerning the cotton question, not only the United States but Germany and the whole world has an intense interest in it. Germany is a great cotton con- sumer, but we can never produce cotton in our country. A few years ago we start ed cotton raising in our colonies but up to the present time the growth when compared with the immense production of America, is inconsiderable. This great production and your excellent methods, are two of the great causes why Ger many must learn from the United States how to cultivate cotton. l came to this convention only as a learner, not as an instructor"
 pr. Gagseow said an old enemy to cot ton, the army worm, had been conquered, and he saw no reason why the boil weevil should not be extermnated by agricul- tural methods.
 Several other papers were read and dis eussed after which the convention ad- journed until tomorrow.
