Chicago, March 2s.-Wheat eased of
today influenced by cables being in
different and by more favorable
weather northwest. Relief had come
for districts threatened with drouth
and there was promise Of additional
moisture. Dw1nding stocks at Mn
neapolis, however, acted to constd-
cradle extent as an offset. Opening
prices varied from the same as last
night to u and u lower and a slight
further dip ensued, but the market re-
acted.
Predictions Of rain for Kansas ana
Oklahoma added to the depression.
The close however. was steady at the.
same as last night to Is off.
Corn.
In corn the majority Of traders
seemed disposed to press the selling
side. Shipping demand here was light
and denials of any large amour: Of
Argentine new corn having arrived at
Galveston failed to make much i'm
preston. The market opened Is and
u to q off and rallied only In a half
hearted way.
Unfounded rumors that. cargo Of
new Argentine corn had arrived in
New Orleans led to pronounced weak
ness. The close was steady tho at
net decline Of IS to u.
Oats.
Oats sagged with other grain. Trade
was scattering.
Provisions.
Provisions showed sympathy with
the weakness Of grain. First sales were
unchanged to 21a cents lower and an
additional decline followed.

time, the largest amount reported pc

sumption of todays great activity
indicated for tomorrow.
Oats-Oats ranged lower with corn

check the decline. Lower hogs and
break in corn were credited with caus
