WHEAT PRICES RALLY
AFTER EARLY DECLINE
Majority Of Traders Believe Federal
Figures on Bearish Crop Report
Fully Discounted.

CHICAGO, March 9.-Wheat prices
made a sharp rally today after an early
decline that was induced by the bear
ish nature of the government crop re"
port The majority Of traders, how
ever, appeared to believe that the gov
ernment figures had been fully dis
counted in advance. Unofhcial advices
that Argentine shipments had failed to
show an expected increase counted also
in favor Of the bulls.
After opening Nan to Ha1 down.
with May at 1.1o to 1.10A and July at
1.0sh to 108N, the market sagged q
littl farther and then rose to well
above yesterdays finish.
Corn Prices Also Rise.
Corn had the same action as wheat.
Leading spectators bought freely on
an early downturn in prices. The open
ing, which ranged from haA to v
lower, was followed by a material up
turn.
Trade in oats lacked individuality.
Prices seemed to be governed almost
wholly by the course Of other grains.
Highest quotations this season on
hogs made provisions jump in value.
Theories that Lenten sentiment would
cause a decline were dissipated IN
hurry.

The rails Jagged and a severe break
in New Haven was reported, from 76 Y

Soon after the opening. the whole
market developed an easier trend and
prices began to ease off in a way that
presaged slump of more or less severe
character. The gains were quickly lost
in most of the shares. and slight addi-
tional declines sustained.

hour. the market changed front, this
time assuming a stronger, broader tone
and sharp recoveries were in order.
1t was a market moved by its own
moods rather than by any apparent in
