WAGNER'S REVIEW
Europe Awaits Our March Guess

Chicago, March 4.-Wheat behaves
true to March traditions and the pecul-
lar continental influences which stay
the European wheat buyers hand from
cabling purchases at this period.
North American wheat clearances
for February at around 100000 are
small. The United States contribu-
ton is probably five or six millions.
A disappointing amount on this Ar
gentine failure The European I'M
doubleday awaits peep at our March
grain estimates.
On current cattle and hog supply
conditions the Chicago March hog
average price OF SIC, is not out of
line. In four cut of past five years
the hog price has been a firm affair
during March. The March period or
1911 was the solitary exception. At
that time the March hog run was i'm
mense and the winter packing OF 1910
IL is a recent season record. Very
large.
Cellar supplies are accommodating
and world lard stores are big enough
TO demand lower prices. Chicago
stocks of products are on par with
two years ago when May ribs and lard
sold below 10 per cent. Hogs at that
time were, however, six to seven cents
mainly. Size of cellar supplies de-
mands lower prices.
The packer, however, is not justified
in basing his summer and fall supply
campaign on a weak at the knees"
hog situation. The present dilemma
will evidently be well met by a mod
crate concession in the pit.
Cotton remains a victim of one fac
tor-a worlds record crop. Securities
are perhaps permanently saddled with
the Mexican outcome, though the
greatest newspapers and financial
journals advise no interference. Bust
ness news is varied.
On the 100000 corn crop of
1902 the government announced March
reserves of a billion, but that was a
record crop at the time and the corn
statistics of 10 and Il years ago are a
poor guide. The corn crop of 1913
was the smallest since 1904 and a next
guess of above SS0,000,000 to
goo. 900. 900 on farms will be a sur
prise. We require one billion on the
farms March / each year and any
smaller supply means scarcity. Sta
tistically the corn reserves do not
promise above 9OO,OOO,O0O. Corn is
firm on theories of future scarcity. If
the reserves are around S50.000.000 to
s75. 900, 900, higher prices should be
