CHICAGO. March 6-Wheat declined
in price today during the early trans
actions, the chief factor being lower
quotations at Liverpool, where Argen-
tine and Australian offerings were re-
ported as liberal. A large increase Of
world shipments as compared with the
previous week was also noted. Asser-
tions that fresh export business was in
but the effect failed to last. The open
ing. which varied from unchanged fig
ures to IA lower. with May 1.41 to
1.41 y and July 1.19 to 1.19k. was fol-
lowed by an upturn that in some cases
! went above Saturdays finish, and then
by decided allaround break in values.
Corn and oats were depressed in price
by the action of the wheat market.
After opening "a off. to a like advance.
with May 63h to So ~, the corn market
scored slight general gains and then
underwent a material drop.

An unexpected advance in wheat
prices at Buenos Aires did a good deal
to send the wheat market here up
grade today after an early decline.
| Enlargement of domestic milling de-
mand. together with a decrease in
the United States visible supply total
and with prospective big purchases
for Greece tended also to carry prices
here upward at the last. The closing
was strong. 1k to 70 net higher.

l21Z to 1.21N.
On the downward swing the mark ct
went about IL under recent maximum
prices for the May delivery. but sub
sequently today's losses were more
than regained.
Later, the corn market advanced
sharply, owing in some degree to a
| more active demand from export in
terests and from New England. The
close was strong, to 1k net higher,
with May 64ka64A to 64ss.
