CHICAGO, March 20.-Only the evident eau
ton of the bears, who were not disposed to ex-
tend operations over Sunday, prevented the
wheat market becoming demoralized today The
principal selling pressure was on July. which
showed the greatest loss. During the day that
option sold between $1.O2Ts and 81 .O37s while
May ranged between S1.15H and 1.153s. The
market closed weak, with May at $1.I5Jt a
1.153s and July at $1O3.
The price of cash corn declined 1c The mar
ket closed at almost the bottom, with May at
oJaa GI655sc and July at 65Lc.
Weakness Of wheat and corn induced a weak
tone in oats. May closed at 54}sc and July at
4S1k 014sAc.

prices were sc higher to I212c lower.
