Prices ON Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, March 16.-weak cables and a
slump In corn had a depressing effect on
the wheat market today, prices at the close
showing net losses OF %@tc, compared with
Saturdays final quotations. Corn and oats
closed weak and provisions steady.
Heariness and inactivity marked trading
In the wheat pit. There was no great SELL
Ing pressure at any time, neither was there
any demand of consequence. With the ex-
ception of a material decrease in primary
receipts, the news and statistics of the day
were OF a bearish nature. At the start the
market was weakened by a decline of h6
1ad at Liverpool, and throughout the day
the heaviness In the corn market tended TO
inspire additional selling, Reports of further
southeastern Europe induced some cover
Ing by shorts during the last half OF the
day. Prices throughout the day moved
with a good range, May selling between
at almost the lowest point, with May at
N.16A and July at H.0fM.
Realizing sales by out-of-town holders
caused weakness In the corn market. Fa-
vorable weather for the movement and In
oreases In local stocks and visible supply
were the principal factors responsible Tor
the selling pressure. The market closed
weak at almost the bottom price, NAV be-
ing off &c at S7%c; July closed nc lower
at S1hc.
Trade in oats was quiet and prices fol-
lowed the trend of wheat and corn, senti-
ment in the pit being bearish all day. The
close was weak, with prices off from SIC TO
4sHc.
Unexpectedly liberal receipts OF live hogs
siderable liquidation OF provisions, result
Ing In moderate weakness. At the close
prices were unchanged to nc lower.
