CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Influenced by Liverpool Prices, Wheat
Opened Weak-Corn Sold Freely


Opened Weak-Corn Sold Freely
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 27.-Favorable
weather for the growing crop was the
main factor in a weak wheat market
here today. At the close May and July
options were off &c. Weakness pre-
vailed in the wheat pit throughout the
entire suession. Influenced by lower
prices at Liverpool, the market here
opened weak, July being off b@Ac to
as@hc at 90%c to 905sc. May was down
A@hc at $1131s.
The principal reason for the weak
ness of foreign grain markets was
found in numerous advices from Amer
lea, the greatest majority of which
told Of excellent progress being made
by the fall-sown crop.
Soon after the opening a fair demand
for May developed, shorts being the
best buyers. With small offerings the
price advanced to $1.131s. In sympathy
July sold UP to 90Bc. A report from
Kansas City stating that high winds
in Kansas were creating some appre-
hension had considerable influence in
starting this slight up turn. With this
one exception news of the day con-
tanned little comfort for bull traders.
Many advices were received giving
winter wheat. They were reinforced
by news from the northwest telling of
the beginning of seeding operations in
that section. In addition cash markets
were dull and easy. Late in the day
July declined to S9%c and May to
$1.121a The market closed at almost
the bottom, with July at S9%@90c.
May closed at $1.12A.
Liberal receipts brought out liberal

ing in a weak undertone. Shorts were
the principal buyers. May closed at
4S5s@4S%c.
The oats market was weak. May
closed at 301sc.
A decline of cents in hog prices
had depressing effect on provisions
early in the day, but the market soon
became quite steady on covering by
shorts. At the close pork was a shade
higher. Lard and ribs were each un-
changed.
