CHICAGO, March 20.-WheAt-De-
spite an Improvement In milling and
export demand for cash wheat In all
markets. realizing sales up to mid
day exceeded the demand and prices
averaged lower than last nights close.
There was thought to hsve been some
export business worked but up to noon,
mo figures were published. Political
complications ct home were tho prin-
cipal deterrnent to bull market. the
trade failing to realize that the emit
rance of this country into state Of
war would mean Increased competition
for the moderate supplies which for
eigners are hoping to secure here.
Bearish conditions are only Incidental.
The underlying factor Of great strength
is the dependence OF the importing
world upon North America.
Corn-Corn made new high levels
tho volume OF profit taking sales on
the bulge. The British government
was credited with being buyer Of fu-
lures and Iowa industries are said to
be buying corn In Omaha Available
supplies Increased last week $50, 900
bushels and are now 14,729, 900 bushels
or less than half those Of the CORES
|ponding period last year. Under pre-
waiting conditions breaks will proDab.
y be moderate anu of short duration.
Oats were steadier than 9TH
er grains, there being an improved
cash demand and some talk Of export
business. The southwest reports con-
siderable winter killing. Speculative
sentiment ID disposed to be bearish
but, with oats at this level, and in view
of the heavy marketing which has al
ready taken place. 1t seems logical to
lexpect gradual advance In values.
