CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, March 9.-Decided weakness
In the wheat market today resulted from
the showing of the government report
that reserves were larger than had been
generally expected. In addition, Liver
pool reported that shipments from the
Argentine were more liberal than had
been looked for. Bearish feeling here in
creased because Of fine weather. and on
account Of the fact that advices from
the southwest indicated excellent crop
conditions. The opening was II to za7s
lower. May started at 50 to 90Aa9Oss, and
steadied at 9OAa9Oas.
Corn turned strong in consequence Of
purchases by leading bulls. The govern
ment figures were construed as favorable
to the buying side. May opened Aats
down to a shade up at 4Sis to 4Sal, and
rose to 1915.
Shorts were busy covering oats. Offer
ings remained scant. May started un-
changed to Nc lower at 3O1s to 3Oss, and
then advanced to 3O1a.
With hogs lower and the weeks pack
ing much heavier than a year ago pro-
visions dropped. First prices were the
same as last night to TIC down. with

tically no business in pork or lard.
