Stops.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, March 30.-Owing largely
to lack of adequate rain in the
domestic Winter crop belt. wheat
prices averaged higher today in the
early dealings. The fact that world
shipments were smaller and that the
amount of wheat on ocean passage
had decreased by LOO, 900 bushels
tended further to lift values. Selling
to realize profits led to only a tenn
porary setback in prices. The open
ing, which ranged from Il decline to
Ia advance. with May 1.57 to 1.5s
and July 1.42 to l42&. was follow ed
by drop in the afternoon for May to
S147.
Corn and oats were firm, helped by
wheat strength. After opening at
2. to y cent advance. May 1904 to
LILO, the corn market scored frsc-
tional gains all around
Oats started Il to y cent lower,
May 43% to 43A. Later all months
showed some advance.
In line with the hog market
provisions were weak.
subsequently corn and oats gave
way when wheat turned weak. Corn
closed unsettled 2h to 37s cents net
