CHICAGO. March 12.-Rain and
snow. likely to benefit the domestic
winter crop. led to price declines in
the wheat market today during the

the fact that Liverpool quotations
showed a slight advance, the resul,
of a falling off in the volume of world

market easily Influenced. Opening
prices, which varied from the same
as Saturdays finish to q lower, with
May 1.19 to 1.19A. and July 1.14A to
1.14k. were followed by general
sag, but then by good rally.
Corn and oats were firm, in the abb
sence of any aggressive selling. After
opening unchanged to 14ass higher
May, 74ss to TAN. the corn market
scored slight gains all around.
Oats started unchanged to shade
higher. May, 44!s to 45, and held near
the initial range.
Despite weakness of hog values
provisions were upheld by the action
of the corn market.
