Chicago Tribune on Grain. Chicago, March 16.?Confirma tion rear tin- last of R?ssel news agents earlier report that Liver pool cash wheat was unchanged was the main factor in causing the closing rally in wheat here. A sensational break of ?"> to '.' down in Liverpool spots as reported by Broomhal! was responsible for the heavy selling <<f futures here at the opening. A fair export business was done on the break with sales in all positions of to 700,000. Traders who regard the theory of scarcity of wheat here and in Eu rope as having been exploded by the continued liberal supplies and weakness in the Liverpool spot market, where arrivals are heavy, are bearish despite the 2U cents break from the recent top. Those who have favored lower prices on the expectation of what has hap pened think there has been decline enough to discount the changed conditions in England where they have overbought and favor buying on any further break. Others predict nervous, sharply fluctuating markets for a few days. Heavy selling of corn on stop loss orders carried prices off sharply. Liquidation was on and it was not DOINGS OF THE D (..until May got under M) cent? that Iber?? was aggressive buying.

From all such dips we an ! tieipate sharp recoveries. ! Harris Winthrop?We believe : liquidation has been quite thor | ough and put the marker in po j sition to respond to the unusually j early foreign demand for new ! crop wheat. Leland?We favor the long side on setbacks. Bache ? Any material buying j would bring about a rally but it is ! doubtful if it can be maintained i particularly in wheat, j Press ? Liquidation has been ! very thorough and the markets are i beginning to rest on a better foun dation with the short interest in j creased.
