CORN MARKET SLOW AND FIRM

OMAHA, March Is, 1914
There was heavy selling Of the May
wheat future at Chicago yesterday by
New York longs, one concern alone
throwing 10000 bushels into the pit aud
another house sold 10000 bushels. IA
addition TO this there was some May
thrown overheard by scattered small
holders. Some Of the wise people in the
wheat market pronounce this selling as n
choice between getting rid OF the gra N
at the present time or resortine TO tneir
check book and putting UP additional
margins later, II is believed that the
larger holders OF the May wheat In this
market will continue 10 give the bea 70
all the rope they require, and that they
as holders OF May wheat, When travel
ing alone conditions will doubtless show
q partial change In favor OF the lonss
IL viii be an easy matter to Te-esta Dish
who inaugurated the selling movemcn;
some weeks ago, and in case thero is
portage of good aise these shorts VIII
feel the tightness of the situation anl
will be obliged TO cover at losses. II Nas
given out on good authority last nignl
that not only New York spectators, but
those in the northwest are stu liberal
holders OF May wheat here. One OF the
larger professionals said last night that
he was long a good line OF July in the
expectation that change in the tenor
of the crop reports will soon be seen and
that the matter Of profits will then te
easy
While IT was said after the close last
night that the bids for wheat from
abroad were only a shade from 3 work
aS basis there were no sales ssS sSnrs out S
wheat east Of there, and in case OF sales
being made the stocks closest to the sea-
board will be used for shipment abroad
Corn looks like q waiting proposition.
While holders refuse TO lquidate because
many of them would suffer Losses, on
the other hand, shorts show nc. signs Of
weakening. The market and prices have
narrowed down to a weather affair and
IL the farmers are enabled TO go into the
fields and remain there for a few weeks
u will be seer, that receipts OF corn WIZ

The large western hog run, the decline
OF 5St1Oc in price at the yards, together
