CHICAGO GRAIN

Special service to The Herald by Dick Bros
& Co. members Chicago Board of Trade, Brad
bury building. Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, March 5-May wheat closed
nearly Sc lower than yesterday and July at a
little more than &c decline. Both months had
little recovery from extreme low points. The
big question with the trade, both early and
late today, was whether or not any important
private settlements had been made between a
big short interest supposed to exist for eastern
account and the bull leaders. The bull leader
ar the close today positively denied that any
such settlements have been made. Best pit OBJ
servers declare that brokers for the bull house
have sold a lot OF wheat the past two or three
DAYS. great portion of the selling today was
no doubt for scattered holders who have been
laid onto the bull campaign. This Is the
second day of reaction In prices after very
strong advance covering many weeks People
friendly to wheat believe that the market is
in a healthier position than before. People
who are extremely bearish believe that the
big holders have greatly reduced their lines
and that the bull campaign is over. One thing
is certain, that the official figures on resources
next Monday must be about as low as the snow
report OF yesterday. or the buying side OF the
market will lose its chief bull argument, for
the time being at least. Larger Argentine ship
ments weak Liverpool cables and some better
crop reports for the day all aided in depressing
the market.
action Of but &c in corn prices from the best
point OF the morning TO lowest quotations pc
fore the close. Rain and snow are predicted
for the corn shipping states tonight. shipping
sales were about 100, 900 bushels. 1t would seem
that after all the advance which has been re-
corded corn prices should have some of the set
back but the market is stubborn one ana
the country fighting for higher prices
May oats closed with stubborn feeling In tho
trade at net decline OF about isc for the
day There was shipping business OF over lbo,-
00O bushels. Big holders OF May oats are
standing firm and the trade probably will be
a narrow one until the official figures on re-
serves are given out Monday.
Trading in provisions was largely Tor the
local account most of the selling which gave
somewhat lower prices for time during the
morning was in the way Of realizing by hold
era There was good buying by outside pack
ers The trade shared the nervousness OF the
grain markets In the end prices showed fair
gain over last figures of yesterday, although
hest prices Of the day were not maintained.

Bradstrees's Review

NEW YORK, March 5-Brsdstreet's tomor-
row will say: Weather irregularities and tariff
and price revision uncertainties combine In
making a rather quiet tone in trade and indus
try. pending clearer views OF these and winter
wheat crop possibilities The trade reports
come from the central west and central south
west and in jobbing trade show moderate i'm
provement. The urgent need of rain in Texas
Is accumulated this week. while in the west
and south business is still rather dull. Most
activity is noted in the finer lines of dress
goods. Agricultural implements and supplies
are displaying continued good movement. Cuts
in iron and steel have as yet brought out
only moderate amount of business. Coliec-
lions are irregular and not better than fair
whole. Business failures in the United
States for the week ending March were 219,
against 2A last week, 2S7 in the like week of
1908. 172 in 1907. III in 1906, and 1870 in 1906
Canadian failures for the week number 80,
which compares with 10 last week and 40 in

United States and Canada aggregate $500 900
bushels, against 2,49l, 1888 last week and 1885,

For the SO weeks ending March 4, exports are
40, ,652 bushels, against 165 in the

pun,s WeekIy Review

NEW YORK, March 5.--R. G. Dun's weekly
review tomorrow will say: Already the price
readjustments are beginning to work toward
the expected Improvement In demand and this
and President raft's inaugural declarations
favorable to that measure OF stability which
is Essential to the life and growth of all
business" are important contributions to the
financial traffic and making stronger the hope
of full Industrial recovery.
Both in sentiment and amount of merchandise
in sight the iron and steel trade shows some
Improvement. In spite of the upward tendency
OF raw material, buyers of cotton goods make
a determined effort TO secure lower level OF
quotations. No new business is reported in
wooden goods. The demand for hides continues
slack with a futher seasonable weakness in
prices. The dry hide market Is quiet Leather
trade is still dull and unsatisfactory.
