+ CHICAGO, March -Wheat-Best
prices were made ON the opening.
Selling Of September In a large way
by those who considered yesterdays
government report as the last bullish
influence, caused q sharp reaction
i from the early bulge and, just after
midday. all deliveries were selling
lower than last nights close. Analy-
sis Of the government report indi-
Gates the most bullish situation as re-
CARDS cash wheat known to the domes-
| tic trade. While there have been yields
In which the reserves were slightly
smaller, there has not been 50 close
an adjustment Of the supply to domes-
tic needs since the population OF the
country has been over 75,000.000. Re-
versals like that of today are common.
following government reports. but,
in the long run, the shortage Of cash
wheat will mean very much higher
prices.
Corn-Corn made new. high prices
early, but reacted with wheat. Low
est prices for the morning were equal
to. or shade higher than the close
Of last night. The governments fig-
ures do not lose any of their bullish
significance on careful study, and in
dictate a higher range of values Tor
cash corn throughout the crop year.
A further reaction at the present time
however, would not be surprising.
Oats-May oats declined 11k cents
from the high point Of the morning
and around midday, were heavy.
Sympathy with other grains and sell
ing on a report that eastern interests
were exchanging domestic oats for
Canadian grades were the leading In
fluences in the break. The eastern
movement from Canadian ports this
spring probably will not be heavy and
Will, very likely, be much later than
normal, on account Of the unusual
thickness of ice in northern parts.
