Chicago. March 1S.-European wheat
buying indifference is based on belief
Argentina and Australia will outlast
April with fair average weekly totals.
Russia cleans up her bins in May. The
foreigner also awaits our April wheat
report.
An. April 1914 winter wheat condi-
ton of 90 to 90 with a net acreage of
at least 35,00O.O00 is anticipated-36,-
100000 acres were seeded last fall.
Largest previous harvested acreage
is the 81 $685. 900 of 1913.
July wheat at 81 to IS is compare
lively cheap wheat despite the liberal
new crop promise. The annual prem
ium of cents for the May is question
ed. Last March the May premium
was only > cents and the April prom
Use was around $4,000 900. Absence
of export and snappy cash domestic
demand also weigh against the prem
ium.
The March Is report on Chicago pro-
vision stocks is very friendly to the
list. The big western hog run of this
week is undoubtedly at expense of lat
er receipts and is induced by rush to

Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago. March 1S.-Grain and pro-
visions markets are in nut with small
chance of a breakaway this week or
next. Corn bears are not justified that
their market position is well taken,
and July wheat appears to be lining up
as a permanent purchase against a
certain change in the news during
April The denuded corn condition of
the southwest now commences to show
H. Meanwhile the cash demand corn
deadlock at Chicago is unbroken and
Chicago holds 100000 to 100000
corn. Scarcity of corn In the south
west promises to hold corn at present
levels indefinitely. Immediate trend
in corn depends on the leaders. If
southwest corn demand quietens there
should be a return to the 661ac level.
Central west has a quick freeze after
rains This may hold July wheat in
the early session. Early foreign news
is friendly to wheat and corn. Rus
sian wheat offers are disappointing
and Argentine corn weather unfavor-
able.
