day with damage reports from tho South,
and It was on these that the higher prices
were mado. The point la whether the green

factor. Nome precipitation has fallen the

shipments for tho week are estimated at
9.600,(100 bushels, and Brndatreet'a clearances
for tho week were 2.700.000 bushels.
Corn firm, with trade light, deferred

Chicago, March 30.—Bartlett, Frazier
Carrington: European markets closed until
Tuesday. Cooler weather aeerna general In
the southwest. The cash situation does not
warrant nuy Improvement In values, and
bullish Inlluences must come from crop pros
pects here or abroad.
Corn has, been dull, but with a rather
good undertone. Lower grades In sample
market very weak and may Influence the
future market somewhat. Ou any sharp
break would buy.
Oats were strong Thursday, largely be
cause of the lightness of spot offerings. If
for any reason the selling should Increase
the market would go back easily. This
applies to the May, particularly In which
tbe trade Is narrow. What Is Jeft of this
crop and the prospective one seems to be
>r sale at 33c or lower.
No cables. Holiday abroad. Cars about
as estimated. Weather clear and cool
throughout the west with very little
dpltstion throughout tbe southwesi
wheat belt Wheat Is more or less of a
weather market and continued reports of
‘ry weather or damage In the southwest
/111 be opt to advance prices. On the
other hand, the cash situation Is weak.
Look for moderate receipts of corn and
oats, and thing that the demaud will fully
K ke cars of supplies und prevent uccuiuu
Boo.
Receipts of hogs 7.000, on an estimate of
35,000. Market 64010c higher after uu ad-
loco of 30@20c yesterday.
We believe provisions u purchase on all
soft spots.

An earlier opening of lake navigation Is
iroinlsed uow than was thought possible

All sorts of reports on'the bug situation
southwest were to be had Wednesday. John
inglls reported that bugs were hard to tiud
In Kansas. Hoyt, out for Lake, reported
from Blackwell, Oklahoma: “Buga have
spread over wide territoir. Wheat growing
fast. Does not show damage." Another
from the same at i*onea City: "Wind has
spread bugs north. No damage. Wheat
