BEARS HAVE INNING IN THE WHEAT PIT
Market Firm Is to IA DOwn-Optimistic Re
 ports Over Crop

Chicago. March 4.-Bears ruled in,-the wheat pit today with the aid of lower cables and of optimistic reports concern ing the winter crop. The market, al- though firm at the close. was is1i4c down. Corn finished the same as last night to 1sQi4c lower and oats were off shade. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to an advance of 211q5c.
 Heavy selling from traders here and in the southwest gave wheat prices down. turn right at the start Fresh assurance was at hand that domestic crop condi- tions were almost perfect and the expert opinions were confirmed by the Ohio off cial report, which put the percentage in that state at 9i as against SS a year ago. Liberal reserves in Europe were assumed to explain sufficiently the de- cline of quotations across the Atlantic.
 Liquidating sales by discouraged hold CTS caused a second dip after a reaction that was due somewhat to u reduced es- innate of the Argentine export surplus and to an expected falling off in ship ments from Australia. A little export business here confirmed the feeling rela- tive stable at the close.
 Notwithstanding that corn was under heavy pressure during much of the ses- sion, the great part of the resulting loss was overcome. Big stocks here had cn offset in the reluctance of country owners to make further offerings. Besides, ship ping sales from Chicago were said by some dealers to have considerably inn proved. Selling of oats received a check when corn began to rally. Cash demand was fair.
 Shorts in provisions displayed a little more anxiety despite weakness in the hog market Packers were said to be on the buying side of the options.
