Masonic Temple. Phone 1881
Chicago. March -6---Wheat = Con-
1dence IN wheat was shaken by rumors
from eastern sources that conditions
aboard We're shaping themselves for
an early settlement Of the war. While
there was nothing authentic in the
news. holders of Whea. became uneasy
and sold freely. In addition TO this
there was considerable pressure from
local traders. The 0uying OF May by
cash houses was Of good volume at
times but failed TO prevent the market
closing at practically inside figures.
Cash demand here was not brisk and
country offerings We're very light.
Corn-Altho cash demand was lit
tie improved corn was affected by the
weakness in wheat and by heavy Of
ferings from local traders. If wheat
continues weak corn is likely to sell
considerably lower as traders are
greatly impressed with the size of the
visible supply. Fresh country receipts
are likely to be very light from now
on.
Oats - Continued heavy receipts Of
oats and the weakness in other grains
resulted in further liquidation and
decline Of IS to . in the nearby deliv-
cry being weakest. Cash demand was
SLOW and with 29s cars in the local spot
market prices were quoted consider
ably lower. The character Of the war
news from day TO day will be the i'm
portart influence but IN the end for
eign demand is expected TO be SUI
ficient 10 take care of all our surplus.
ProviSions-The news which was
construed as bearish on grains resulted
in liberal buying Of provisions by
packers and shorts. Except from
little realizing by packing interests
around top figures there was little
pressure on the market which closed
firm at close TO the high point. Hogs
were in good demand and closed about
cents higher. Cash trade reported
dull.
