GRAIN FUTURES
SELL DOWN ON
LOWER CABLES
Corn, Oats Follow Wheat
in Decline; Trade Is
Light.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press Stan Correxnondenf

CHICAGO, March 4.-Lower ca
bles and an irregular stock mar
ket combined to give wheat a weak
opening on the Board of Trade to-
day. Scattered selling found lit
tie support at the start. March was
on most, with the other months
holding around steady.
Liverpool was lower on dullness
and lack of demand. Corn was
easy with wheat. Oats was very
dull and quiet.
At the opening wheat was un-
changed to u cent lower, corn was
unchanged to II cent lower, oats
unchanged. Provisions were very
slow and steady.
Liverpool was about as expected,
and showed IS to u cent lower at
mldafternoon. An advance in
sterling was a factor.
Corn was strengthened Thursday
by the absence of country offerings,
only 5000 bushels were booked in
marked contrast to the heavy book
ings of recent sessions. Trade in
futures remains light with the
market lacking leadership. Many
traders are of the opinion the
market has been oversold.
Buying of oats late Thursday vas
credited to foreign account, al
though nothing definite has been
heard Of export sales. The cash
market is showing some improve
ment.

PORKER PRICES
SHOW STRONG
TRADING RANCE
Light Receipts and Firm
Demand Send All Classes
Upward.

Light supplies and somewhat bet
ter demand again forced hogs up
at the city yards, prices rising 10
cents on most classes this morning,
The bulk, 100 to S25 pounds, sold
for $41O to $3.50; early top holding
al $3.50. Receipts were estimated
at 1000; holdoyers were 124.
Cattle were sluggish in the usual
slow Friday range. Prices held
steady. Receipts we're 300. Vealers
were unchanged at 81 down. Calf
receipts numbered 800.
Trade in lambs was undeveloped.
The only indication as to range was
late Thursday sales at sharply
lower levels, mostly $3.50 down. Re-
ceipts numbered 1900.
Asking on hogs generally was Is
to Is cents higher at Chicago. A
few early bids and sales we're
around 10 cents up. Bids on 100
to 210-pound weights were $3.50 to
$3.50; best held above $4.65; 40 to
160-pounds sold for $40 to $3.50.
Receipts were $4,000, including 5000
direct. Holdovers were 1000 Cattle
receipts were 1000; calves, 500;
market steady. Sheep, 800; Is
cents up.

In the Cotton Markets
lRy Thomson g. McKinnonl

NEW YORK, March 3.-The cot
ton market turned dull after a fair
amount of activity in the early
trading. Prices were from 3 or 4
over to 8 or under the previous
close and on the advance the SELL
erS included brokers who act for the
co-operatives.
The trade is gradually absorbing
these offers without showing any
inclination to decline and we would
not be surprised to find later that
the major part has already been
liquidated.
Temperatures for the past week
have continued abnormally high.
Today showers over most of the
belt have again interrupted farm
work. We think we will see higher
prices for cotton in the near future.
