CHICAGO WHEAT PRICES
TAKE AN UPWARD SWING
Liverpool's Resistance to American
Declines Yesterday 1mparts
Strength to Bull Traders.

CHICAGO. March 3.-Wheat prices
took an upward swing today. inf1u-
enced by the failure of the Liverpool
market to reflect the declines which
took place yesterday in America. The
bulls were also encouraged by reports
tending to disprove assertions that do
nestle growers had been boarding re-
serves. Besides, there were advices of
unfavorable weather in Argentina.
The opening, which varied from l to
21a cents higher was followed by some
further gains and then a moderate set
back.
Buying Stimulates Corn.
General commission buying put
strength into corn. Offerings were
rather scarce, apparently owing. in
part at least. to unsettled weather
After starting Is to q higher prices
continued to ascend.
Oats climbed with other grain. IN
port houses were buyers.
Free selling, presumably by packers
weakened provisions. Most of the I'M
loading was of pork.
Reaction Wipes Out Advances.
The reaction wiped out later all the
advance. but the market soon hardened
again Export sales in the United
States today were said to amount to
100000 bushels. Assertions, though,
that England had purchased the entire
Argentine crop surplus for 1915 had q
bearish effect at the end OF the session
The close was weak, but L y to :

vinegar" which they assert is an adul-

is a product Of grain or molasses and
is not made from apple cider.
