CORN AND OATS QUIT A SHADE LOWER Provisions Art Doll, h-nt Steady ., Trad Start Oat Slowly, Owing; to Warm Weather Reports, '. ba Qnlekeas Later. CHICAGO, March IS. Hud wheat crop news wu the leading factor In the recov ery of strength In the wheat pit after yea. terday weakness. Tha warm weather In fluenced lower prices In all grain at the opening, but wnest lent oft Ita strength and at the close May wheat was H'-Ho higher. May com a shade under and May oata c down. Provisions closed unchanged to 2"c nigner. Trade In wheat, as In other grains, started out slowly. Wanner weather In the winter wheat country and still more nredlcted naturally killed all the cold weather Influence. At the opening there was plenty of wheat for sale, partly as a . result of lower cables. Bhorts, however, covered freely and there were several fair reactions. Then bullish news began to ar rive. Bradstreet' report Indicated a de crease of 8,500,000 burOiels in the world' available supply. This helped prices, as did the receipt of the worst crop damage complaints yet received from Kansas and Oklahoma. It was reported that Manitoba wheat was arriving freely at Duluth and this proved a bearish Influence. On the other hand prices for Manitoba wheat, which a weak ago were 8c under May op tions, were today only 7Hc under. The western and northwestern movements were curtailed as compared to last year's fig ures. On the whole the yearly May wheat prices were under yesterday's cleslng prices, the crowd was Inclined to play for a recovery. May, which opened a shade lower to a shade higher at vCtSo, eased to Ua and then reacted to 74c. Had there been a fair volume of outside busi ness the market might have shown con siderable strength. St. Louis was a de pressing, factor and the weather also pre vented better prices. May closed firm, Ho higher at 75c. .Receipts, 63 cars, 1 con tract Minneapolis and Duluth reported 832 cars, a total for the three points of 436, against 878 last week and 518 a year ago. Primary receipts were 481,000 bushels, com pared to 781,000 a year ago. Seaboard clear ances equaled 198,000 bushels. Early sentiment In corn was very bearish. Cables were lower and the warmer weather west worked against the demand. Belling was general and at times heavy, though the market had numerous dull spots. There were no Important features and In the main the market was poorly supported. Country offerings were still small, but the recovery attended the show of strength' In wheat. May opened a0 to lower at 8144.9 When wheat recovered May com sold to 6240. Offerings still were sufficient to supply all demand and May closed with a sngntiy easy tone, a snaao tower at aijao. Kecelpta were 181 cars. There was a little flurry in May oats early. Traders had some selling orders to execute and as the market deollned numer ous stop-loss orders were met, and before the market steadied May lost 1V4C Ner vousness still Is manifested by trader over the May deal. Oosslp has It that the prom - Inent long holder has disposed of his stuff nd has gone into July options. Both July and September were fairly steady all day snd fluctuated with the other grains. May, which sold as low as 4Zc, recovered much, but closed weak, So down at 44c Re ceipts. 156 cars. Provisions were very dull and fluctuated narrowly. Bulls suffered a disappointment over the action of the market, which in the face of falling short of 14,000 head in the hog receipt under estimates, showed little life. The market did not feel the effect of the fluctuations In grains. May pork closed 2Hc higher at $15.374, May lard unchanged at 19 36 and May ribs Z4o higher at $8 .35. Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, SO cars; corn, 70 cars; oats, 65 cars; bogs, 31.000 head. The leading future ranged as follows: Artlcles. Open. Hlgh.j Low. Close.

All the buy ers were out In good season, and It was not long before the bulk of the offerings was disposed of. The proportion of fat steers to the total receipts was rather light todify, and as buyers seemed to nave quite liberal orders the market took tin considerable life and good, strong prices were paid for anything at all desirable. In some cases the market looked a little higher, but as a general thins the situation could probably best be described by calling It active and steady to strong. Good cow and heifer sold freely today at good, strong prices. Anything showing quality was picked up In a hurry, so that everything answering to that description was out of first hands at an early hour. The demand for the medium graues and canners was limited and sellers touno it difficult to dispone of such kinds at any price. The commoner the quality tne harder the cattle are to sell, and the prices paid are very uneven. Hulls, veal calves and stags sold In prac tically the same notches they have for the last several day. Thara were a arond manv stock cattle In cluded In the receipts this morning, which, taken with the liberal run of yesterday, made a good many on, hand. Good stuff held ateadv today, but when It came to the commoner grades the market was slow and lower. Buyers oo not iook so mucn at tne lght as they ao at tne quality, mere is a good demand for all weights showing duality, but wnere inai is lacaing ine oe- mand Is very limited, no matter what they may welgn. iiepreseniauve eaies BUUF HI EiEiltB, NO. .... 1..., 1..., .... 1... 10... 2..., 14... 1... 2..., 1... 1... 1.... 4...
