CHICAGO March 17.-wheat trad
ers quite generally assumed waiting
attitude today pending development
of fresh export business or of definite
advices of crop damage. Misgivings
in regard to the industrial outlook
tended to check bullish sentiment. On

prices. Opening quotations. which
varied from unchanged figures to u
lower. with March 1894 and May
1.51 to 1.51h were followed by up
turns that in some cases went well
above yesterdays finish.
Corn was upheld by scantiness OF
receipts. After opening 70 off to a
shade advance, including May at 69A
to 693s. the market sagged trfie
and then scored slight gains. Oats
hardened a little in the absence of
any sailing pressure. starting shade
to ka$s higher, May 43A to 434s and
keeping at about the initial range
Provisions had an upward slant. in
f1uenccd by the fact that fresh pork
loins were selling at the highest
price of the year
Subsequently buying power gave
out and the wheat market underwent
a material decline. despite gossip
current that an embargo against the
importation of agricultural product.
into the United States had been de.
cided on by President Harding. The
close was nervous, IA to 3A lower. with
March 1.57a1.5
Later. when wheat started down
grade. the corn market also went low
er. The close was heavy. u to IL
net lower. with May 6ssa6sA and July
