CHICAGO, Wednesday, March o
Wheat market lost its early advance
today but around midday showed
little recovery from the low points.
\ misconstrued report from Wash
ington indicating that President Cool
idge favored the McNary Haugen bill
which would eliminate grain eN-
changes, it is believed, caused a feel
ing OF depression and dampened the
ardor of the bulls,
There was Il little short covering
at the start and some commission
house buying. Yesterdays buyers
took profits on the advance ana
later there was selling by early buy
erS.
Locals who were selling in Win
nipeg bought also. On the dip q sub
rosa report that the tariff commits
sion had ironed out its differences
and would report to the president to-
day. which would result in d procla-
nation of increased tariff, caused
some buying. Seaboard reported a
better demand fer Manitobas III a
nearby position. Primary receipts
showed d little increase. Milling de-
mand for wheat was better.
Wheat closed IA to IS cents low
err. May Ill 3-S01-2 to 3-8; July
Ill IL; Sept. H. 3-S.
Corn tone was easy but support
around 81 cents for May was heavy
enough to check the activities of
short sci. ers and lend confluence to
tired iOE2s.
Cash corn is in d weak position.
