CHICAGO. March 20.-Misglvings that
European developments before Monday

pressing effect today on the wheat mar
ket here. Prices, however, closed steady
at a decline OF ssn%c net. Other grain,
ltq3sc to sc. and oats, nc TO Ssq%c. In
provisions the outcome varied from the
same as last night to 7tk110c below.
Despite the fact that rumors of final
split between Austria and Italy had
turned out untrue, not much confidence
seemed to have been restored to holders
of wheat. An early advance in prices
here, due largely to steadiness OF quota
lions at Liverpool was met by free sell
ing on the part OF longs.
Fading away OF export demand was a
separate element that counted on the
bear side of the wheat market No fresh
sales here or elsewhere during the last
twenty-four hours could be confirmed.
On the other hand. a big decrease ex-
pected TO be shown in the domestic visi-

cause a fair rally as the session neared
