CHICAGO, March S.-Wheat traders
showed disposition to mark time to-
| day pending the issuance of the gov
ernment report this afternoon on farm
reserves. Further rains henehting
| crops had only a transient effect as a
1 ~
gressive selling on initial declines led
| to d moderate advance, which. how
ever, was not well maintained. Open
| ing prices, which varied from un-
changed figures to l lower, with
March 167 to 1.6714 and May .5SA
! to 1.59 were followed by rallies to
! above yesterdays finish. and then by
| some hing of reaction, multiplying
most of the gain.
| Corn. like wheat, hardened a little
| after easing off at the start. Traders
| took their cue from the action of
wheat. After opening unchanged To
| 4 lower. including May at 10si to
| 70A, the market sagged A trifle more
and then rose slightly above yester-
| days close.
| Oats were steady with other cereals
| starting a shade off to Is advance
May 455s to 45a4 and later keeping at
! about same range.
| Higher quotations on hogs gave
| firmness to provisions.
| Bearish anticipations concerning
| the government report led to con-
| siderable weakness in the late wheat
! dealings. The close was unsettled al
| the same as yesterdays finish to ! Il
| lower. with March 1.66 to 1864 and
| May 1.59 to 1891.
Corn descended with wheat at the
last. Prices closed steady, q to y
net lower, with May 70%a7Oia to 30 y
