CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features OF the and Closing
Prices ON Board of~Trade.

CHICAGO. March 1E-Conslderable de-
moralization developed in the wheat mar
ket late in the session today, and prices
declined more than 1c from the high point
Of the day on account of the general liqui-
dalton. The close was weak, although
prices were stilh q shade to hQ3sc above the
final quotations OF the previous session.
Corn, oats and provisions also closed weak.
A sharp rebound from the final weakness
Of the previous session occurred In wheat
prices at the opening today, initial quota
tons showing gains of sc to &mIsc. Many
Of the smaller traders. who had sold short
yesterday were eager bidders for wheat,
when trading began, and, with only mod
crate offerings. the market acquired 'addi-
tional strength during the first hour.
Toward the middle of the day several OF
the leading bulls began TO sell freely and
this started general selling. which re-
suited in a quick decline. May dropped
from Silica to slIJs. while July sold off
grains tended to aggravate the heaviness
of wheat. The close was weak, with May
at $1.15A and July at SL04q1.O4S. 50
Corn prices declined about Ekc in the late
hours OF esre Cdayil ewing -tU7liuutdatton by
out-of-town holders and TO considerable
selling pressure by local spectators. The
close was at almost the lowest point at net
declines OF fsHlc to lisq1Ac, compared with
the previous close. During the day May
ranged between 65Aa657sc and 67stc, and
closed at 66c,
oats were firm at the start in sympathy
with wheat and corn, but slumped severely
about midday on selling by cash interests
and longs In general The. close was So
&C lower, with May at sac and July at 5Slsc.
Provisions were firm at the start, owing
to a 5610c advance In live hogs. Later the
market cased and closed at net losses of
3Ikd10c. ...

LRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Bullish Feeling in the Northwest
Makes Bulge in Wheat.
CORN WAS UP IN SYMPATHY
First furry In wheat Followed by
- sharp Break, hut rally at
the close Holds IN
Prices.


Wheat started on a bulge at the open
ing. due 10 advanced outside markets and
q bullish feeling over the northwest wheat
section.
Corn was up with wheat and held steady
through an active cash market, where all
samples were readily absorbed. Receipts
are better. but arc still slack.
Wheat opened steady and broke quickly
on pressure OF outside markets. A fair
rally came at the close and brought values
back to the close yesterday. Sentiment is
evenly mixed on the outlook for the com
ing crop and country reports are generally
favorable. May opened at tlOSlA and
closed at Si.US@t.
Corn was steady but a shade easier owing
TO a weaker cash market and more liberal
receipts. Sentiment is running very bearish
on corn and should we have liberal receipts
4 decline il expected. May corn opened at
SIC and closed at 62AC.
Primary wheat receipts were $4,000 bu.
and shipments were 237 900 bu., against re-
ceipts last year OF $4,000 Blu. and shipments
or 341.OJU bu.
Corn receipts we're $4,000 bu. and ship
ments were $500 bu.. against receipts last
year Of $4,000 bu. and shipments OF ool'WO
bu.
Clearances were 1900 bu. OF corn, none of
oats and wheat and flour equal to $4,000 bu.
Liverpool closed Esd lower on wheat and
sand lower on corn.
