The mar ket here closed unsettled at 3-4 to cents lower, with May $145 3-4 to S1.45 7-6 and July $1.2S 3-S to SIPS 1-2. Corn finished quarter to 1-205-8 down oats off 1-4@3-S to 1-2 cent, and provisions varying from 10 cents decline to ' cents advance.
 With arrivals of Canadian wheat at Minneapolis announced as commanding prices there which showed profit. whEat traders here became somewhat slenti- cal about continued lack of supplies in Chicago to fill May contracts. This was especially the case inasmuch as liberal furke CT shipments from CannGS were handicapped if high prices on this side of the border should warrant. Besides re- ceipts in Chicago today totaIled 200 carloads. an amount for in excess of what has been the rule here of late. Under such circumstances an early ad- vance in the price of May delivery here of late.s Under such circumstances an early advance in the price of May de- livered here failed to last, and the mar ket soon turned weak for that month as well as for July and September
 Selling of wheat here was led bE houses with eastern connections and was apparently due somewhat to absence of export demand Further selling was un- doubtedly induced however, but state ment from the president of a big grain company here intimating the company was prepared to deliver wheat on out standing contracts instead of settling otherwise. The company has heretofore been talked of being perhaps the leading short interest in the May delivery.
 Corn and oats weakened with wheat despite demand for corn at the seaboard and large export sales of defeat.
 Provisions averaged lower with hogs and grain.
