CLOSE IN WHEAT
 MARKET NERVOUS
Drop in Price Came Late After a Moderate Show
 of Strength

Chicago, March 29.-Estimates putting the condition of fall sown wheat at Sl.4 per cent as against so a month ago kicked out some of the props from under the market today. The close was nervous with prices running from the same as last night to ssc below. Latest trading left corn unchanged to 14e up, oats varying from shade off to 1sGi4c advance, and hog products at decline of 21ad5c to 2Oe
 The drop in the price of wheat came late in the day after a moderate show of strength due to a squeeze at Liverpool because Argentine shipments had turned out less than expected. For a while the market during the downward slide reached no support whatever and then only when it became apparent that prices would soon be in a demoralized condition.
 Spring weather through the winter crop belt more than offset the bullish influence Of fiurries in the coarse grain trade, the wheat pit entirely failing to respond to the enthusiasm of speeulators who were buying corn.
 A special reason which made many wheat traders veer to the selling side was the fact that Minnesota farmers were reported sowing today and all looking for big year. the ground being in splen- did condition. Between the opening and the close May ranged from s1.02N to $lo37s, with the finish at $1.0324, a loss of ssc compared with 24 hours earlier
 Corn touched a new high level, but re- acted when wheat began to tumble. Much of the buying came from rural sources today. A forecast of colder weather had a good deal to do with the development of bull sentiment May ral- lied from Ss39sa731sc to 74Ss@H94c, closing easy but hc net higher at 74c even. Cash sales were larger. No. ? yellow was quoted at 7S1sa74c for car load lots. There was rally in oats because of corn's strength. The market after touching q fresh high point for the session was pulled down by the bears influenced by wheat. Limits for May were 54l4c and 547s055c, with last sales 1s@4c net up at 541gQ54ssc.
 Efforts to realize profits in the provision crowd sent pork off nearly half dollar. Buyers stopped altogether for the time being, but again took hold at the decline. In the end pork exhibited decline Of i0a 1219c to 20: lard. 21aa6c to 7lac, and ribs Ice to 121Rc.
