WHEAT DROPS, BUT REVIVES LATER ' - PreTlsteas Nnl Higher la Spite at '4 Cnla DfttulH-Wku Iaads Lu4tll, fcat Lara; Sales Gltt Balltsk Clear. CHICAOO, March . Oraln markets fol lowed a nervous snd erratic course today. Speculators were adverse to the consldera tlon of anything but weather reports and these being abundantly bearlah, prices slid downward until wheat seemed to have ar rived at an export baaia. Large aales on the decline revived the dormant bull senti ment and helped other pits sympathetically. At the close May wheat wi a ahade higher. May corn Ho lower and May oate He lower. ITovlslona closed 6c to 10c higher. There waa a general landslide In grains before noon, led by wheat. Kalna In the west and southweat smsshed prices; corn was weaker on the warmer weather and southwest selling, and oata felt panicky for time. Wheat opened easy on cables and the weather, but was met with fair sup port for a time. A fair number of buying orders were executed, but aoon came the slump In the southwest. Kansas City and St. Lnuis were earnestly bearish and prices In those markets were rapidly slipping off. At one time St. Ixiuls waa 2c under yes terday's May closing price. The local crowd here, who had been taking In some stuff, . turned about to sell. Longs liqui dated, stop lose orders were met, causing till further weakness, and before May had stopped on its downward course al most lc was lost. Speculators overlooked bull news. Liverpool continued steady nt a small decline, seaboard clearances were large and receipts were small. Statisticians reported the crop in a less favorable posi tion. There was a better continental de mand reported early, and millers were re ported large buyers of grain. Regarding these conditions the weather seemed all powerful. May, which opened WHc lower at 74c to 73o. sold off to 734c. Then came some covering and the break was stopped. The big Influence, however, came late In the shape of reports that wheat was on an export basis. New York reported fifty loads taken for export and local cash trad ers worked the same number. The earlier bullish factors then became more apparent to the traderr and May wheat shot up to a steady close, a shade higher, at 74W74HC Receipts were 87 cars, none of contract Erade, and Minneapolis and Duiuth reported 39 cars, or 8fi8 for the three points, against 422 last week and 48 a year ago. Primary receipts were 537,000 bu., compared to 637,000 last year. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 701.000 bu. Corn, like wheat, had a firm support the first hour and then a sharp break. The market was Influenced largely by the bear ish feeling In the southwest. St. Louis was riling here. There was a large trade, much of which was liquidation. The sentiment generally seemed bearish on the good weather in the southwest, which Is ex pected to hasten pasturing and an Increased Interior movement. Cables were lower. Stop loss orders brought further declines, as did news that conditions favored seed ing. When wheat reacted corn followed. There was a fair cash business and some stuff was worked here for export. The recovery, however, was not so good as in wheat, and May, after selling down to 604 ioic, closed easy, Vic down, at 081o. Receipts were 72 cars. Speculation in May oats was extremely nervous, and waa hammered down lHo. At this time large quantities were unloaded. Again the market was comparatively strong and there was nothing for sale. The weak ness in corn and wheat affected the mar ket accordingly and the later revival of strength helped in a recovery. Added to these factors, however, waa the important rumor that the leading bull in May had unloaded his holdings. July and September options suffered with other grains, but closed fairly well. May, which opened un changed to Ho down at 43HS143Hc, dropped to 42Ho, reacted and closed easy, Ho lower, St 43Hc. Receipts were 79 cars. In spite of a large run of hogs, a lower hog market and the depression In grains, provisions held up strongly. Packers and commission houses were buying all prod ucts. Ribs were particularly a purchase and the strength In that product helped pork and lard. At no time did hit of the list show a tendency to decline. May pork closed 10c higher at 816.52H. May ribs Bo up at $9.46 and May ribs So higher at $3.50. Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat, 25 cars; com, 105 cars; oats, 110 cars; hogs, 83.000 head. - - - The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles. Open. High.) Low. Close.jTes'y.

It only took a com paratively short time to dispose of prac tically everything on sale. A fair proportion of the offerings this morning consisted of beef steers, buc there were none too many to meet the require ments of the trade. Buyers were all out early, and anything at all desirable sold without much trouble at good, strong prices. In soms cases . sales were made that were undoubtedly a little higher. The commoner klnda, though, were neglected to some extent, the same as ususl, but they sold for fully aa much as the same kinds brought yesterday. The cow market continued active and strong on tho better grades, and as high as $6.60 was paid for good stuft. In view of the liberal demand and the light offer ings of good stuff everything answering to that description was soon disposed of. Buyers were calling the market today at the high point of the aeason. The medium kinds of cows and heifers, as well as the canners, did not show much change from yesterday. The demand was limited and the prices paid were uneven, but on the whole the market was not far from steady with yesterday. Bulls, veal calves and stags showing quality all Bold well at fully steady prlcea, but the common kinds were neglected and no more than steady. There waa quite a demand from the country yeaterday for Blockers and feed ers, and yard trsders succeeded in dispos ing of the bulk of ths cattle they had on hand. They were a little csutlons todsy, however, in buying very many more. Good stuff commanded steady prlcea, but when it earns to the medium kinds and common stuff the market waa slow and a little lower. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS.
