Show Oiicago Qiotatioas CHICAGO, March S. Ideal weather for efficient railroad operations eased the corn market a little today. There were also predictions of a decided enlargement en-largement of the car supply in the near future. Immediate need of grain was conceded to be so great, however, that no important set back in prices took place. Futures after opening unchanged un-changed with May $1.27, underwent a slight decline. Oats hardened In price owing to scantiness of arrivals. Handlers continued con-tinued to give transportation preference prefer-ence to corn. Opening figures, which varied from c off to ViC advance, were followed by a little upturn which, however, was not well maintained. Provisions showod a disposition to sag. The market lacked aggressive support. CHICAGO QUOTATIONS. Open. High. Low. Close.
