TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO. March 16.-Unexpected
strength in Liverpool gave wheat
values on this side of the Atlantic a
sharp upward slant during the early
dealings The Liverpool market was
not affected by the action of the
American markets the previous day
and with a sudden development of
a shortage of cash grain, prices were
advanced readily. The upturn caught
a number of the local traders short
and led to general buying and sharp
advance. which was checked, however,
on resting orders to sell. Houses
with foreign connections bought con-
siderable wheat. May wheat sold at
l.2O at the start, but when the buy
ing became free the price lifted above
that figure. After opening Il to I
and July 1.15. the wheat market
scored additional slight gains and
then hardened a trif1e.
Coarse grains showed strong
undertone with corn at the extreme
top after the start showing / above
the previous finish. The markets
acted oversold and advances were
easily attained. After starting u to
q higher with May "a to 74A, the
corn market scored additional gen
eral gains and then geban to sag.
oats started at the same as yes
terday's finish to y advance, May
44ss to 45, and after gaining a trifie
more. underwent a slight reaction.
Higher quotations on hogs gave a
lift to provisions.
