THE OMAHA SUNDAY TtEB: FEBRUARY 28, 1915. 5--0 GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Wheat Goea Up Three to Four Cents, with Corn and Oats Follow inj the Lead. MAY AND JULY FUTURES SELL OMAHA. Fob. !7. 1915. The cable announcing the reduction of the defending entrance to the Darda nelles, and which were spread out before the sieculatlve world before the opening of the hoard of trade, caused heavv and Rei.eral liutittlutinn, not only of wheat, but oats and rora as well. May wheat sni.t off aa much aa 74.c under the close of Thursday, and some of thla selling was) ir.llteH to f'ToiRnera. On the weak spots not only In May. but In July as well, the liiilnK whs wrons In character, demon strating the fact that wheat still has many friends, and that enporters here and at the seaboard led In the buying of Mav. The Northwest, aa well aa Toledo, claimed sales of the cash article for e port, and the northwest sales were claimed to have been at the nest prem iums yet paid. The July futurea sold off as much as 5o it one time this morn ing. Liverpool refused to take any stock In the opening of the Dardanelles aa a bearish factor on wheat, aa that market waj unchanged to Id higher for spot Corn, reacted from the bottom prices, reached and closed 2c lower. After the noon hour corn rallied l'4'lc and this was fully maintained. Oats acted largely In sympathy with the other grains, and while prices closed lower, there waa an undercurrent of strength because of the export takings at the seaboard Of l,4fln,fln bu., which in cluded 810,000 bu. at Chicago. The conspicuous feature In the pro vision market was the heavy liquidation by longs hi porlc and ribs. The products were absorbed by shorts, and It is be lieved that packers supported ribs around Inside price There was some Invest ment demand. The hog market closed steady. The cash trade In both meats and lard was still dull. Omaha spot market Wheat was !CMc higher. Corn was 2V4(ff2V4c higher. Oats were lic higher.

CHICAGO GRAIJI AND PROVISIONS Fratares of (hm Trading aad Closing; Prices Board of Trade. CHICAGO, Feb. 27. It was more on. ac count of a change of feeling than be cause of a change of news that the wheat market today scored a substantial ad vance. Intelligence that forty warships had forced a passage several miles up the Dardanelles did not reach here until after trading hours. Prices closed strong, 2fto to 40 above last Bight. Other net gains were: Corn, 2o to tWSVmc; oats. l'o to lUjHiiftte and nrovlaions. so to 12c. Buyers ruled the wheat pit today. Vir tually all of the decline of the preceding swslon was overcome. The violent set back had apparently accomplished a dras tic clearing out or wean noiaings, ana hd riven fresh stimulus to export and milling demand. Sentiment favoring the hull side waa also encouraged by the fact that Liverpool quotations failed to reflect fullv yesterday's decline nere, There were besides continuing reductions In the estimates of the Argentine export able surplus. , Traders' opinions regarding the Darda nelles situation, leaned to the view that as far as the wheat market was concerned results need not be expected, soon. It was In accord with this theory that nearly the highest prices of the day were In force at the windup. Shipping and export sales amounting to about 800.000 bushels, put the corn mar ket on the. upgrade. Most of tho time, shorts were In a scramble to cover. Kaln in the southwest formed a han dicap on the bears. Seaboard demand re mained urgent as to oats. Sales to for- eiunera however, were not reported in nrnvistnna. the feature was a rally from early weakness. Grain strength finally gav the advantage to the bulls.
