Chicago. March Wheat - Dis
quieting political and war news gave
cash and export house interests a
chance to buy some cheap wheat.
While scattered spectators were SELL
ing out and carrying prices well under
last nights close. local cash houses and
seaboard interests bought both May
and July. The buying OF July was in
creased by unfavorabie crop news.
Corn-The reaction in wheat coun-
teracted bearish farm reserve figures,
issued by three local authorities. Gov
ering tof short corn was the feature
when other grains showed strength.
Oats Oats showed Independent
strength. Pressure came largely from
local bears, while cash interests were
on the buying side. A big export bus
mess is limited, estima ted export sales
being 100000 bushels.

Chicago March L. Reports which
ming of Germany's new submarine
campaign had bearish effect today on
wheat. Assertions that several Brit
ish steamers have already been tor
pedoed gave rise to talk that shipments
from this country might be made a
virtual impossibility. Bulls were also
handicapped by estimates that whea t
held in the United States Is Of greater
volume than mas been supposed. The
opening. which varied from h9A to
y q IS advance, was followed by a sub
stantial decline all around. Initial quo
tations were at LIZ to 1.12e for May
and l.O9a to 1.10A for July.
Active buying on the part of n1illers
at Minneapolis led afterward TO a re-
action. Washington dispatches, how
ever, that the submarine issue would
be forced to vote in congress caused
later a sharp downturn. The close
was nervous at y and Is to y net de-
cline with May at s1.11% and July at
sl0sb.
Corn.
Corn suffered with wheat. a bearish
construction was placed on estimates
of farm reserves NJ corn we'll as Of

the market continued to sag.
Prices closed unsettled at l and IN

Oats.
Oats merely reflected the action OF
other cereals. Trade was active and
better divided than usual
Provisions.
Higher prices or hogs gave strength
to provisions. Weakness on the grain
market acted only as an offset in part.
