CHICAGO. March 21.-Buying on the
part Of houses with seaboard con-
nections gave a decided upward swing
to the wheat market today. Indica-
tions pointed to considerable export
business. and country offerings were
light. Besides. gossip concerning a
new emergency tariff bill counted
somewhat in favor Of the bulls Open
ing prices. which varied from un-
changed figures to ~ higher. with
March 1.53 to 1891. and May. 1.42
to 1.43h, were followed by sharp
gains all around.
Corn rose with wheat After open
ing unchanged to AaA higher. in
Guiding May at 7oa70A. the market
scored a moderate general advance.
Damage resulting from the elevator
explosion here had a builish effect
on the oats market. which started
n to kaM higher. with May. Al Aa
Az. and then hardened still more.
Higher quotations on hogs put
strength into provisions.
Potatoes-Weak: receipts. 100 cars:
northern white. sacked and bulk. 100
alb cwt: Minnesota early Ohios,
sacked. 125 cwt
industries was in evidence, but the
corn market slipped downward when
wheat showed weakness The close
was heavy Maa4 to 1a1h net lower.
with May 65 AaH to 65T.
Slackening of demand in the last
part of the day led the speculative
selling. Gains were practically wiped
out and the wheat market closed
nervous at 1a net decline to a like
advance. with March 1.52A to 1852 u
and May 1.41 y to 1.42.
