GRAIN AND PRODUCE
Strong Futures Market and Ex-
cellent Cash Demand Boost
All Grain Prices.
WHEAT LEADS IN ADVANCE

\ Omaha, March ], 1917.
The cash situation was very strong to-
day and sharp advances were made under
pressure OF a strong future market and an
excellent cash inquiry for all cereals.
Wheat led in the advance with a gain
OF &c and &c, but was followed by compare
lively strong advances In both the corn and
oats markets, corn being quoted from NC
TO ihc higher while oats were quoted
about Nc TO NC above yesterdays market.
The top OF today's market was $1.89, which
was paid for No. 2 hard: No. 8 hard sold
at sI.s7is and Sl.sS and No. hard ranged
from fi.s2 to siss.
No. durum wheat brought si.s1 and
mixed wheat sold from s1.7s to sf.S6.
Corn sales were not very good on account
Of very light receipts and the demand would
probably have taken care Of much heavier
offerings.
AS II was. most Of the traders were sold
out long before thet close Of the cash mar
ket. No. . white corn brought from 97&c
to CSC; No. yellow sold at 97Ae and 97i4c,
and No. mixed was quoted at 97kc.
The trade In oats was also light but the
demand was good at the advance. and
standard oats brought 57hc. while No.
white sold at 56isc.
Rye was strong at ihc TO. 2'ac higher.
while barley was strong with rather light
business.
Ciearancss were, wheat and flour equal
TO 4OS, 900 bushels; corn, none: oats, none.
Primary wheat receipts were $4,000
bushels, and shipments $4,000 bushels.
against receipts of i,24s,00o bushels, and
shipments OF $4,000 bushels last year.
Primary corn receipts were 1888. 900 bush
oils, and shipments. 1000 bushels against
receipts Of $4,000 bushels, and shipments

Session.
REcovERIEs AT CLOSE

New York, March 1.-DurIng the greater
part OF today's listless session stocks were
! under pressure, further liquidation and
short selling being prompted by tho dis
| closures In respect to Germany's intrigue
to ally Mexico and Japan against the
United States Partial reeoyeries from low
est levels occurred in the last hour. but
numerous losses Of to points were reg
istered at the close.
Speculative or professional interests
seemed disposed to sell stock on other
grounds as well as those arising from the
German American situation. The indif-
ferent statement submitted by the Bank
OF England was accompanied by reac-
tion In sterling, weakness in rubles and an
other violent break In remittances to Italy,
Tires falling 10 772.
On the other hand rates to the Teutonic
countries hardened, a condition attributed
to the probable purchase of German and
Austrian bills against sales Of American
Securities. disappointment was shown also
at the reduced dividends reported by some
Of the more active copper companies and
the failure of Utah Copper directors to In
crease the extra disbursement. This was
neutrallzed to n degrae-by increased and
deferred dividends disbursed by several Of
the concerns engaged in tho manufacture
Of munitions.

sheep--Whiie tho sheep and lamb run was
half again as large as yesterday, II was
the smallest that has been here on a Thurs
day 80 far this year, arrivals counting out
some thirty cars. or 1900 head. For the
four days the run totals 37,sli head, as
against As.lo6 last week, 62.l2l two weeks
ago and 1855 last year.
The lamb market was q repetition OF
previous days of the week, being very slow
and having a generally easier tendency.
Even with the comparatively moderate re-
ceipts. there SEEMED to be more lambs here
than packers really wanted. and It was not
until several cars had been picked up by
buyers Of shearing stock that killers showed
much interest In the trade.
Even then II was dull affair. and while
some sales were about steady with yester-
day, others were as much as q dime lower.
Real toppy kinds were lacking, The best
Mexicans here, which. were light. but could
have been better finished, sold up to 4i4i5
@1420. the latter figure being high for the
day. Most OF the desirable westerns landed
around 1890 and siA05 and few loads
Of strong weights moved on down to 1850
and less.
Ewes also showed another loc slump, the
market being slow even at the decline.
Mates OF the ones that brought $l1.40 yes
terday were bought at sl1So today, while
three-car string Of Montanas took ,lo.s5.
Practically no yearlipgs or wethers were
available. No real light feeding lambs
were on oner Quite few that were fairly
ncshy went out for shearing around 1890.
A stagnHnt eastern dressed mutton trade
n the prime cause Of the mean market this
week. Packers have been complaining Of
difficulty In moving their product for some
tifns back. but Il Is only in the last week or
ten days that II has much effect. The
government report on eastern market con-
dItions says coolers are overloaded and that
there In little demand.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Large Offerings Of Wheat are Absorbed and
Market Hardens Slightly

Chicago. March I.---Assertions that rail-
way traffic difficulties were being diminished
and that foreigners were buying future de-
liyeries here gave an upward swing to the
wheat market today. The close. although
unsettled, was nc to INC net higher, with
May at s1.s2N TO sl.S3, and July at s1.55A
to SIS. Corn finished half to NC up and
oats gained ken to k@S. In provisions
the outcome ranged from 2hc decline to a
rise OF TIC.
Reports that the scarcity Of railroad cars
had shown some amelloration and that
hopes Of a further betterment of domestic
shipping facilities were not without con-
siderable warrant, put the wheat bears at
a disadvantage almost from the outset Be-
sides, II was said that export sales yes
terday had been on q liberal scale and that
despite rain in Texas. the greater part OF
the southwest was still suffering from lack
OF moisture The impetus to buying. how
ever. did not add In maximum force until
signs Nwere noticed which seemed to III
dicate that European interests had been
absorbing offers Of the chief speculative
options. After that discovery prices con-
tinued to ascend and were checked only In
the last half hour of the session.
Vague peace rumors brought about much
realizing by holders of wheat as the day
approached an end. The fact that little
had been heard OF. any fresh export buying
at the seaboard tended also to shake In
some degree the confidence of the bulls
and to cause a reaction In which a good
share OF the gains that had been scored
were lost.
Corn hardened with wheat smallness of
receipts counted likewise In favor of higher
prices, but free selling on the part of a
leading house formed a decided Offset. Oats
merely reflected the strength of other ce-
reals. Most Of the trading was local.
New. high record values were reached in
the provision market, bat failed to last.
The rise accompanied a temporary upturn
in the price of hogs.

Omaha Futures.
II developed after the close yesterday
that considerably larger business had been
done for export than was reported before
yesterdays close. Reports show that total
OF 100000 bushels OF wheat and about 1907
900 bushels Of corn were worked for ex-
port and this amount does not include any
Of todays business, which was thought to
BIO equally as large.
The sentiment today was much more bull
lish than on yesterday and while political
conditions had considerable to do with the
nervousness OF tho market 1t was noticeable
that their Influence was lost and supply
and demand conditions were given more
serious consideration.
The trade today In local futures was very
active and trade was started In the Sep
TENDER option, which opened today at sSc
and closed at 9eAc. The bulk OF the local
trade, however, was In May wheat. which
closed about INC higher. May corn ruled
about Nc higher. May oats declined about
Nc, while July oats closed nomlnally un-
changed, at Sac.
