WHEAT SCARCITY
 BRINGS UPTURN M CHICAGO MARKET

CHICAGO, March 2S.--Although scarcity of wheat at Liverpool helped bring about price upturns at one time today here, the approach of holidays curtailed business and gains failed to hold. The close was unset tied at 1s cent net decline to Is cent advance, with May s1.19h to S1.19A and July $1.153a to s1.15es. Corn lost A to ss cents, oats rInrshed 1s to A cent off to ls cent up, and provisions down IT to 32 cents.
 At first wheat here showed an up- ward tendency, responding to higher quotations at Liverpool and to gossip about the smallness of Liverpool stocks of wheat. Bullish crop re- ports from Kansas and Nebraska were also a subject of attention. It soon became evident. however, that demand lacked volume and that there was more or less disposition to restrict new dealings until after Easter
 Announcement that there is avail able public elevator space here for S,000,000 bushels more grain was construed as bearish by some, wheat traders. @
 Bears were predicting, too, that Russia would be a factor in the grain trade this summer. and in addition that Canadian shipm rents meanwhile would continue heavy.
 Meanwhile slightly increased rural offerings of corn had a depressive influence on the value of corn and oats.
 Hog market declines weakened provisions. On the downturn, houses with New York connections were ac. tive buyers of July lard.
