GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

DETROIT, March Close: The Chi
cago market was characterized as tame
and stubborn early In Mondays ses-
sion, with dealers holding OF TO see
what the government figures will show
as TO the quantity or wheat In the
hands OF farmers. Liverpool was lit
tie higher early in the day.
All guesses as TO farm holdings have
| been bullish. Even the highest shows
a belief that stocks are unusually light
for this time OF year and the big Wis
ibie and small invisible supplies added
together do not make formidable to-
tai Speculation has broadened so that
an unloading movement does not break
the market as II did a short time ago
but there is no marked Improvement
In the cash situation. Stocks are heavy
and not decreasing fast enough. Some
Improvement Is noted In the hour OUT
look, but IL is slow and discouraginS
Chicago reports that the cash holdings
there have largely changed hands dur
ing the past few days, but this means
little unless millers We're the purchas-
ers. Northwestern receipts show a de-
crease and dealers expect still FEWER
cars this week. although the advance
in prices has stimulated farm selling.
The movement across the Canadian
line Is we'll sustained and offerings 70
Liverpool are liberal, but Argentina Is
not a free seller and exports are unsat-.
isfactory.
Wheat weakened on Monday, with
active taking OF profits. Liverpool did
not hold its early strength, worlds ex-
ports for the week being quite liberal.
