Wheat Prices Tended Downward. Owing to Continuance of Shipping Difficult Chicago. March I. Halting of export de mand loilay acted as more than an offset for the bullish effects of diminished farm reserves. The merket closed heavy. 02Vtc net lower, with May at 11.17 Vi 0 17 and July at ll.6601.66. Corn gained iOHc. oats flnlsncd unchanged to tec down and provisions irregular, ranging from 12Hc de cline to a rlso of 6c. Although some leading traders contended that the government report on farm re serves had put the wheat market on a purely domestic basts, the bullish Influence nf the report did not lest beyond the flret half of. the day. A general rush to buy tuok place at the oulaet, but tha coneequent advance In prices encountered free aales on the part of holdera who were In a poaltlon to realise Prodis. After all galna had been thus wlpvd out. prcsMure on the market Increased, owing to Ihe noticeable absence of export buying, and because of revived assertions that purchaes for European In terests are being cancelled. Ruling the late trading, longs In wheal were further discouraged, owing to advices that the Liverpool Steamship Uwnera' ae soclatlon declared the food control meas ures so far taken by the British government had failed and that only the moet radical curtailment of Importa and of tonnage used for military purposes could prevent a eerl one shortsae of foodstuffs. Support lor prices hers largely disappeared and final uulallone were at almost tne lowest point of the day. Corn advanced to new ntgn levels, out re acted to soma extent when wheat turned weak. The bullish nature or the government renort aa to farm reserves of corn was the chief source of strength. In oats, aa In other grain, the government farm reserve report brought about an advance. Later, however, ihe market gave way as result or woru that a number of purchase for the entente .lllea were being cancelled anu were oetng replaced at Winnipeg. Provlaloiia averaged lower in coneequenre of announcement that the British govern ment had taken control of all the lard and bacon In the United Kingdom and would hereaflor fla prices.
