CHICAGO, March 3.-The week
closed with another bull market May
wheat has gained about 10 cents and
cents, despite car conditions and In.
reference with ocean freight. A very
large demand for cash wheat from
the Belgian relief commission and
improved inquiries from domestic
millers has been the factor OF great
est importance. B. w. Snow estl-
mates crop reserves lower than any
previous figures, at 9S,000,000 bushels.
Precipitation in the southwest In the
last twenty-four hours has been only
moderate, and is being followed by Sc
we're weather. Ultimately, the worlds
shortage of wheat will result in still
higher prices.
Corn-The action OF corn was SINH
lar to that Of yesterday, although the
gain was not quite so great The ad-
vance for the week has been 6 cents
to 5 cents, the market closing at the
highest level in the memory of the
Oldest traders. The car situation is
reported by local shippers to be
worse than ever, and this probably
accounts for the narrowing OF the diff
ference between May and July.
Strength in provisions and new high
prices for hogs were Important c-
tors. The trade in general, especially
where surplus corn Is plentiful Is I'M
willing to follow the buying side at
these levels and the effort by scat
tered trade to pick the high spot Is re-
sponsible for the quick rallies which
occur from minor breaks.
Oats-The outlook for q scarcity IN
foodstuffs is attracting good invest.
ment buying in oats, Irrespective OF
accumulation at western points, anu
the difficulty of securing cars TOT
eastern shipment. The demand from
both domestic and foreign consumers
throughout the rest OF the year Will
be so urgent as to warrant sraouai
advance in values.
Provisions-The strong hog market
and the strength in grain caused tne
liberal buying of provisions. OIIer'
ings were noticeably light until the
market advanced sharply over las.
nights close. Locals sold on the
advance. but took product back on
any decline. We see no reason at
present to stop the advance. Cash
