were no special features.
Crop accounts from the eastern belt
continued favorable. particularly from
Alabama. where the indications were for
a material Increase in the area. The
traveller for local firm reported to his
house that sales of mules in Alabama

buyers and shorts did some covering.

chicago, March 20.
Considerable selling of oats by early
buyers forced the market off today
after it had been stronger on purchasing
through commission houses, by elevator
interests and covering by shorts.
The frmness in the forenoon was due
to a continued good inquiry for export
and higher premiums for tho cash
article The final tone was irregular.
Interest in the war news remained in
tense and new business was discouraged.
particularly as the grain markets will
be closed on Good Friday. All offerings
went into strong hands.
There were intimations that exporters
might pay 1914 cents over Baltimore or
Newport News if they could get big
lot. Reserves in Argentina are large. but
the inquiry there remains unimportant,
shipments for the week being estimated
at only 10000 bushels, against 253,000
bushels in this week last year.
Trade In corn was slow and the mar
ket receded after it had been firmer
Most of the business was between local
pit operators and was without feature.
The movement at interior points was
lighter and there was a fair demand for
the better grades of the cash article.
Crop news from Argentina continued
favorable. Shipments from that country
for the week were estimated at $4,000
bushels. against 1,137,000 bushels last
year. The visible supply there is 1,2OO,
900 bushels compared with 100000
bushels a year ago.
