TODAY'S CHICAGO PRICES.
CHICAGO, March 12.-Predictions
that the United States would have q
large cary-over of wheat July 1 had
a depressing effect on the wheat mar
ket today in the early dealings.
Bears contended that the lowest
prices of the season would be regis
tered by that time. On the other
hand, bulls took the position that
supplies are less than was the case
last year and that the present acre
age shows Il reduction ranging from
IL to 10 per cent. Opening prices,
which varied from ha1. cent off to
= advance, May 1924 to 1.e915 and
July 1.osSs to 1.1o. We're followed by
a moderate general setback.
Corn and oats were easier, owing
to sympathy with wheat, despite cor
tinued smallness of the receipts of
corn. After opening unchanged to
1saA higher, May SIX to S1ss, the
corn market receded all around to
below yesterdays finish.
Oats started at Is lower to a shade
advance. May 47M to 47A. Later all
deliveries showed some loss.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
the provision market.
