FACTS FAVORING THE BEARS
Overahandance of tiralo and l.laht

Prosper Is, Knpport Their
Position,
OMAHA. March 4. 1911
There has been a strong effort on the
part of bulls to start an important recov
ery In wheat prices, and they have been
helpfd by the much lighter primary re
ceipts, some headway being made as the
market Is fully 2c higher than the ex
treme low point.
Much of the bull argument Is based on
the theory that while bears have the ad
vantage of the overabundance of wheat
both at home and abroad a decidedly lack
of cash demand and also fine crop pros
pects. The corn market Is strong and higher,
being helped by the advance In wheat, al
though atocks will undoubtedly show a lib
eral Increase again this week. Cash sales
do not show good strength and futures
are not likely to materially advance until
the cash strengthens.
Primary wheat receipts were 855,000 bu.
and shipments were 214.000 bu., against re
ceipts last year of 111.000 bu. and shipments
of 229.000 bu.
rrlmary corn receipts wera 677.000 bu.
and shipments were 871.000 bu., against
receipts last year of 783.000 bu. and ship
ments of 878,000 bu.
Clearances were 876 000 bu. of corn. &00
bu. of oats and wheat and flour equal to
3O7.0O0 bu.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trsrninsr and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO. March 4. Wheat closed strong
today at the highest point of tha week.
The main reason was the defeat of all
chance for Immediate enactment of reci
procity. Last trades showed a net gain
of lo to li(g)H4o. Every other leading
staple on change finished also at an ad
vance corn He to Uc, oats Vsic to Ho
and provisions 24c to 17'c.
A better tone In the Hour business, over-
Sunday covering by shorts and decided
activity on the part of bull leaders con
tributed toward forcing wheat to a higher
level. Smallnesa of primary receipts had
a part in bringing about the general
scamper by shorts. Mills in the northwest
led in the buying and there was unmis
takable giving out. of bear pressure. None
of these conditions, however, had full swing
at the start. During the early portion or
the session, in fact, a weak: feeling pre
vailed, chiefly because of a decline at
Liverpool. Extreme low and high figures
for May were 89"a and 914o, with the
latter the ruling one in the end. a rise of
compared with twenty-four hours
before.
Signs of considerable export business
atrengthened corn. May ranged from 47Hc
to 48 Ho and oioeed Wic net nigner at
48uT484c. Cash corn waa reported alow.
No. 1 yellow finished aC4tjwmic.
Oats rallied less than Any otner gram.
May varied between 304c and SOHo, with
the close KWhiO up at c.
Improvement In provision prices came
from the strength or grain, better call from
the south and the relatively high quota.
Uons for lard In England. Pork at the end
of the day had gained 7W10c to 17ttc,
lard To to TWfrlOo and ribs 2Mo to 1ZV4C.
