Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-16
CHICAGO GRAIN

Special service to The Herald by Dick Bros.
bury building, Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, March 15.-The news today was
or the side OF the sellers so far surface in
dications are concerned. Crop reports from
the southwest are conflicting. on the whole,
recent rain and snow helped the plant but
slight damage is conceded in a number of the
largest counties in Kansas On any further de-
cline local trade is likely to become oversold.
as it has number of times recently, and we
favor the buying side of July wheat on good
dips.
With cash corn prices at considerable dis
count under May and the holding of May corn
widely scattered and no leadership in the trade
IL is natural to expect general Liquidation
to set in for the early months. Forecast is
favorable for country marketing. Corn prices
may easily weaken If fine weather and good
roads give larger movement.
Oats prices simply follow the action in wheat
and corn as there Is no leadership In the mar
ket and nothing very important in the news.
Very heavy sales Of lard and ribs were made
here through commission people this morning
for the account of local capitalist who has
been decidedly right on the advance for the
past few weeks. No doubt this selling was
Induced largely by the big run of hogs to this
market today. In view OF the fact that the
big packers are ready to support the product
on dips buying side may prove profitable for
those who have the patience to get in when
the market Is depressed, 1t is said.
