CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat md Corn Make New High Records
on Extensive Early Buying.

| Chicago, March 2s.-snow in Kansas and

| crop reports today which had caused a
sharp advance in prices. The market closed
weak at Sl.90% to sis0% for May and
1859 to $l.s3S for July. with the range

buying In the wheat pit at the start, and

represented as so severe that forecasts were
circulated indicating that the government
report In April would put the crop condi-
ton at one Of the lowest stages In many

famine was threatened In Argentina tended

too, did active military measures by the
United States, such as the calling out Of
militia and the steps to increase naval
enlistment on a. large scale.

Of holders, the wheat bulls retained con-
troll OF the market until the last hour, al
though as the session approached an end
considerable skepticism appeared to be de
veloping as to whether the crop injury
reports had not been wildly exaggerated.

and Nebraska proved sufficient at this
Juncture to increase selling pressure and TO
