CHICAGO BOARD oF-TRADE.
Future Grain and Proyisions.


CHICAGO. March 3.-From start to finish
the wheat market showed little signs of amt
nation, business being confined to trades OF
small proportions. Notwithstanding lower
prices at Liverpool, the market here opened
quite steady. May being a shade lower to Ia
Ac higher at 81 15k to 81 153s July was
1sQHc lower to shade higher at 9S% l99c
Commission houses showed a tendency to
make moderate purchases, but offerings were
extremely light A that the May deal
was still In operation and that the price OF
the May option would soon sharply advance
appeared to be the main factor in restricting
offerings Prospects of an early Shipping
caused some selling of the July delivery IN
consequence the tone of that option was rela-
lively weaker than May. At 81 14N May
reached the lowest point Of the day The
bottom price Of July was 9Shc. The market
closed about steady with May at 81 15l.
Final quotations in July were 9SAc.
Small dcceptances of the country formed the
basis of a firm corn market. May opened un-
changed to shade lower at 4T7s@4Sc and
closed at 4Shc.
The May factor in the oats market was a
good demand for the cash grain, shippers and
elevator interests being active buyers May
opened unchanged TO shade lower at 81 Ne
and closed at. 31&c
Provisions were firm early on light receipts
of hogs. Later the market eased off on sell
Ing by pit traders. AT the close May pork
and ribs were each off a shade at $l2 52h6
II 30 and 50 20 respectively. Lard was ur-
changed at Sc 95a6 s71a.
