Show BEARS HOLD 101 IVIflflKETjK CHICAGO Indications Point to a Record Crop This Year; Corn and Oats Also Down. CHICAGO, March S. Prospects which appeared so excellent for Via winter crop that millions of bushels' loss from the prosem indications would still leave a record yield made the wheat market today to-day fall under bearish control. Corn showed a loss of itfj'ac to 3c and oats of iWW to 2c Provisions wound up with a gain of 2Xhc to 10c. Kansas gave the keynote to speculators m wheal. Advices from that state declared de-clared the growth conditions to bo such tint even 25,000,000 bushels' shortage there from any unforeseen developments could not deprive the commonwealth of a crop totaling 12.r.000.000 bushels. Reports Re-ports of this kind, togcthor vIth a perfect per-fect weather map and the fact that cash and export sales were disappointing, proved much more than an offset for a moderate degree of strength which had been evolved largely because of a comparative com-parative scarcity of offerings. Disclosures of small purchaPoK of wheat for European account at Omaha. Kansas Kan-sas City and St. Louis, to bo shipped by way of the gulf, had virtually no cfTcct on prices here The reason- was that export houses In Chicago and along tho the Atlantic seaboard had been confronted con-fronted by a lowering of foreign bids. Although corn at first showed considerable consid-erable disposition toward an advance, tho market later suffered from a decided break. Receipts were larger, and the stock In Chicago was pointed out to be in excess of any previous total at this Mine of the year. Firmness earlv was based on tho idea that country " roads would soon break up and that feeding was by no means at an end. pats weakened with corn, despite a fair cash demand. Shorts in provisions hnd to bid up prices before packers and other longs would come to the rescue Tho most urgent ur-gent call was for lard. RANGE OF TKD LEADING FUTURES. Wheat opan. Hljcb. Low.
