Late Market Quotations

Long Commission Co. Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, March 2O.-Wheat-It
became evident early today that the
bearish news from abroad has been
circulated here for the purpose Of buy
ling cheaper wheat and that domestic
; traders have become short heavily.
Within time after the opening, prices
were about three cents above those
OF Saturdays close. Statistical news
both foreign and dom este were bear
ish. Liverpool. however. reported
their market unchanged. This was
factor In today's advance. The ILL.
nois state crop report shows condt-
ton Of 66 percent against "a March
LIST and drouth talk from the south
west was another important factor.
Spring and hard winter wheat mar
kets have gone to a premium over
Chicago. despite the fact that the
large holders Of cash wheat are in
hard winter territory. Within the next
two weeks it is likely that some def
ditions of the growing crop and this
will be the ruling feature from now
on.
Corn-Corn also rallied sharply at
the opening. largely by wheat
strength. Shipments into New Eng
land instead of improving, are hamp-
cred by embargoes against grain by
two of the large New England rail-
roads. Movement is larger than
year ago. Cash demands are at the
moment limited
Oats-Drouth reports from the
southwest and strength in other
grains helped oats. Minneapolis re-
ports a large proportion of her stocks
have been sold for eastern shipment,
and also com plains of car service.
Supplies are not accommodating and
unless country offerings increase,
Is expected.
