WHEAT PRICES
HIGHER IN PIT
Corn Lower, Oats Follow in
Sympathy; Liverpool
Fails to Advance.
Bg United Press

BW CniL6U FTCSS
CHICAGO, March Is. = Wheat
futures showed surprising strength
here today, being unevenly higher
in spite of bearish foreign markets
and improved weather over winter
crop belt. Corn was lower in SYM
pathy with cash markets. Oats in
clined to follow corn.
At opening wheat was sc lower
to &c higher, corn was off Is to &c
and oats were Is to &c lower.
Provisions were slightly lower.
The rapid advance made in wheat
Tuesday has left some traders
skeptical of its being maintained.
Buying was inspired entirely by re-
ports of damage from southwestern
points and operators hold that it is
too early to tell conditions of winter
crop. Weather in southwest was
very favorable today, but northwest
was having rain, sleet and snow.
Liverpool failed to respond to the
advance here.
Light receipts of corn are being
offset by willingness Of other term
inaI markets to send grain to Chi
cago and cash market is rather
weak. Futures trading is confined
largely to pit operators.
Oats have had periods of strength
with other grains because of excep-
tionally small receipts, but trading
iS very dull and fundamental fac
tors unchanged.
