BAD CROP NEWS LATER
Prices Were Irregular But Closed at Same Level-The Corn Market Shows Stubborn Tone and
 Oats Are Fair

Chicago, March H-Conflicting crop ad- vices from the southwest resulted finally today in leaving the wheat market prac The close was steady, 1sc up. Corn fin ished unchanged to a shade down, oats not altered or varying to Ac higher, ana provisions at 21ac to 1oa121ac decline.
 A leading expert touring Kansas sent word that he found the crop outlook per- feet. This news gave prices a decided downward bend. Later another eminen authority who is Investigating conditions in the same state sent word that he was discovering serious flaws. About this time cash wheat demand here improved and the Ohio state report put the crop status at SS per cent as against 92 a couple of months previous. Then, too New York and Baltimore dispatches told of export sales and it was noticed that receipts at primary points were again light. A news paper war then ensued, with firmness well maintained thereafter until the close, which was not far below the crop figures of the session. May covered a range ex- tending from 1sQAc to 9O1sc, and at the last gong was 9ossc. net loss of a shade.
 The weather was favorable for shellng and hauling corn, but the market showed a stubborn tone all day as March ship ment prices are at a big discount from April. May f1uctuated between 4914Q49asc and 49ss@49s4c. closing the same as last night at 49ssc. Cash corn was in fair de- mand. No. yellow finished at 471a@4s1ac.
 There was fair shipping call for oats. The option list hardened a little as a re- suit. For May the low and high limits reached were 31Ac and 911sc with latest sales S1ssc, gain of isc over last night.
 Provisions were easy on selling by pack CTS. In the end pork showed loss of 21ac to 10@121zc, compared with "A hours before, lard PEG to 5a71ac and ribs 21ac to 5c.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York March 17-(Special.)- J. Another quiet and dull market with a total lack of any new outside interest; the public still refraining from entering at present levels. seeing no signs from the dry goods district indicating an improvement in demand sufficient to warrant mills taking the remainder of this crop at higher prices. On the other hand statistics are bullish and fear of high prices late in the season prevents any fresh outside selling. The large spinners' takings seem incon- sistent with the apparent poor mill conditions. but the theory was ad- vanced that much of this cotton repre- sented consignments from the south to eastern brokers to take advantage of any fresh inquiry.
 We expect a quiet market until the ginners on Monday, which if in line with private estimates, should be around 12,O0O,000. A disappointing re- port would probably bring an advance, but it Is question whether this would not bring out the same realizing as to- day.
