CHICAGO. March 16.-Although the
wheat market here opened lower to-
day in sympathy with new declines at
took place. The advance resulted
from a little speculative buying, which
disclosed that the amount of selling or
ders had dwindled to relatively small
proportions. Talk was current. too,
that despite reported weakness of
between Chicago and Liverpool val
ues of late had widened instead of
narrowed. The opening here, which
varied from Z to is lower. with
May 1.31 to 1.31is and July 1.131a to
1.13A. was followed by a rise to
above yesterdays finish.
Corn and oats paralleled the action
of wheat After opening unchanged
to Is lower, May 59as to 59s, the
corn market sagged trifie more and
then scored slight general gains.
Oats started . off to, Is advance:
May 3In to 37A, and later showed
an upturn all round.
Higher quotations on hogs were re-
f1ected by the provision market.

Subsequently signs of export busi-
ness scantiness of receipts at Mime
apols and adverse crop reports from
Ohio, together with absence of selling
pressure here, helped to lift wheat
values in a decided manner. The
close was strong, to S%e net higher,
with May 1.35as to 1851 and July
1.16ss to 1.16sa.

with receipts light. Corn prices con-
