GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO. March Although Offer
ings of wheat today proved fairly large,
they were we'll absorbed and the mar
ket showed tendency to harden.
Hopes of amelioration Of the railway
car scarcity encouraged the bulls and
so, too, did evidence of continued ac-
tivity by export interests. On the other
hand. rains in the southwest tended to
dissipate anxiety about the winter
crop and to check any decided upturn
in values. Opening prices, which ranged
from ss off to like advance. with May
at 1.S1 to 1.s111 and July at 1.54N to
1.55, were followed by a slight general
decline and then a rise all around to
well above yesterdays finish.
Corn followed the changes in wheat.
Commission houses leaned to the buying
side. After opening unchanged to y
lower the market sagged a trifie and then
scored slight net gains.
Oats had no independent action. The
market kept within narrow limits and
was governed by the course Of other
cereals
Firmne.s in the hog market was re-
fiected by provisions. The best demand
was for lard.
Subsequently. ass9;tons that foreign
ers were buying future deliveries here
led to material further wheat advance.
The close was unsettled, q to ia net
higher. with May at 1.S2l to 1S3 and
July at 1.55B to 1.56.
Smallness of receipts helped later to
cause an additional ascent Of corn prices

Moreover, the trading is being more

securities, many of the listed shares
failing to show on the sales record day
