Mr.. Collins charged the opponents of
provisional free state government with
setting barriers against the onward
march of the nation.
He declared that canon de Valera
had adopted methods of anarchy
because the people OF Ireland were
not willing to allow him to decide the
treaty question for them. De Valera
declared this attitude of the people
as "unforgivable sin and for this they
were to be deprived Of their right to

CHICAGO soARp


CHICAGO, March 10.-Wheat pric-
es recovered somewhat today from
the acute weakness shown during
the last preceding session. Indica-
tions of enlarged demand from ex-
porters and from domestic millers
appeared to be chiefly responsible.
The market closed unsettled, at the
same as yesterdays finish 10 lc
higher, with May $1.36h to $1.37 and
July S1.17B to $1.18. Corn gained 1c
to 11sc to 1%c and oats Is to &c.
In provisions, the outcome varied
from unchanged figures to l5c higher.
II soon became apparent after the
opening in the wheat market that
liquidating sales on the part or hold
ers were at an end, and that offer
ings were being readily absorbed BY
strong houses. As a result, slight
general advances in price followed a
sag which had been witnessed at the
start. Then reports or further ram
and snow in Texas, Oklahoma and
Kansas relieving completely appre-
hension of drought led to fresh de-
clines. However, with gossip current
that Russia was buying wheat, rye
and oats on a big scale, and that
millers in the United States were
purchasing wheat more freely, the
wheat market developed new strength
in the final half Of the day. Specu-
lators who had over-reached them
selves on the downward swing Of the
market took to the buying side but
when their wants were satisfied
good deal Of the advance failed to
hold.
Corn and oats displayed indepen-
dent strength. Export sales of more
than 100000 bushels of corn were
confirmed. Besides. It was said
Sweden had disposed Of 100000 BUSH
els of American oats to Russia. Fur
thermore, the Argentine exportable
surplus Of corn was estimated at less
than half last years total.
Provisions averaged lower with
hogs, but in the end scored an up
turn with grain.
