T0DAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, Feb. 26-WHEAT-Whea prices
showed considerable weakness today large
ly as a result of lower quotations from
Liverpool, because of forecast of larger
shipments from Argentina and Australia.
The fact that most of yesterdays big ex-
port sales in the United States turned out
to be for deferred shipments was also a
bearish influence. Increasing receipts
northwest tended further to handicap the
bulls Opening prices, which ranged from
5kc off to Sc up. with May at $11S12 to
$1.191s and July at $115A to SI1512 were
followed by a decided general setback and
then a moderate rally.
Severe breaks took place later. the result
of New York stock market. Weakness that
seemed perhaps to indicate less favorable
outlook for the solution of difficulties re
garding German submarines There were
also unconfirmed rumors of the fall of
Verdun. The close was excited, q nc to
5Hc net lower at $1131a for May and S110A
for July.
CORN-Corn developed strength owing to
falling off in arrivals. At first, however,
the market was somewhat depressed by the
weakness of wheat. After opening I'M
changed to 1s@Ac lower, prices underwent
a further sag but soon rose to well above
yesterdays finish
The market later descended when wheat
prices became demoraiized. Corn closed
unsettled at &c to 11sM1Ac net decline.
OATS-Oats were governed chiefly by the
action of corn Cash houses bought rather
freely.
PROvISIONS-Hig prices on hogs lif-
ed provisions. Offerings were scarce.
