SHORTS Iff FLURRY
Excited Buyers Run Wheat Up
Against Themselves.
MARKET CLOSES STRONG
Traders -CnwllUn; to Face Possible
Developments Over Holidays.
Cold Wave Predictions Also
Heighten Bullish Sentiment-
CHICAOO. March 20. Unwillingness of
shorts this afternoon to face possible de
velopments over tha holidays caused ex
cited buying of wheat. The close was
strong at a nat gala of ftfffto to c Corn
was ft o to 0fto up at tha finish. Oats
ended tha day at a nat advanoa of fto to
ft O fto. Pro visions scored a nat Improve
ment of 7 ft to 10c.
Many stop loss orders tn tha last quar
ter hour of tha wheat market came an
tha heels of a little speculative buying.
Tha shorts became so flurried that they
advanced prices on themselves more than
ft o In a very few minutes. Offerings
proved scanty, and tha simultaneous de
cision of many traders to curtail risks, in
view of the board not being In session to
morrow, and owing t'o further Interruption
of business in England Monday, resulted
In the elo-ie hers being at ths top point of
the day.
Cold wave predictions tended on the whole
to heighten bullish sentiment In wheat, but
soma authorities professed belief that the
extreme low temperatures In the Spring
crop belt should be counted as a good con
dition at this time. Little attention ap
peared to be given to promises of large
world's shipments. - -
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
equalled 261.00O bushels. Primary receipts
of wheat wera 669.000, as against 412.000
bushels a year ago.
Influential buying of July delivery
strengthened corn. Thera was considerable
realizing, however. In May. Much lighter
receipts formed a help on the. buying side.
Oata went up with other grain in conse
quence of covering by belated shorts.
In tha provision pit offerings went up and
In splta of lower prices at .the yards, ths

tributed chiefly to the bulge in grain.
