John D. Ryan, president of the Copper Export associations, says apparent world consumption of copper for twelve months ending March 31 will total 2,970.000,0(8) pounds, exceeding the production for ai.y year in history. Grain and provision wire from Chicago, reviewing today's markets, says: “Corn -Early items of news relating to sup plies in eountry elevators, progress of spring work together with a lack of interest in the deferred deliveries or tbe cash market made sentiment bearish. Despite the absence of any pToinlnent demand there was sufficient absorption of offerings to make it difficult for early sellers to cover. Farm reserves are probably ample, but this fact has lost its force. The Immediate supply is a warning against too confident expectation of lower price ideas. We do not anticipate au.v definite market trend. Oats—As In corn, the market became oversold. The south refers to a sharp demand from the south and southeast. There is likewise a feeding demand reported from the more northern markets. In all cases the cash article is at considerable premium over the May. In this market, as in corn, the cash situation is a sustaining factor. Provisions—Houses ’with eastern connections were buyers of product, while packers were moderate sellers. In the event of any broadentng of the foreign outlet for product, market will be responsive. SAVINGS MADE CHEAPER.

This was too abrupt a slump for sellers to accept and the final compromise was on a basis of 25c lower for the hogs lighter than 250 pounds. Pigs were steady at $15.50 down, but the roughs and sows were 25c lower with a top or $12.75 for bulk of sales of these grades. Best hogs weighing 160 to 200 pounds sold at sl6; 200 to 270. $15.75; 225 to 250, $15.50; 250 to 275, sls; 276 to 300, $14.75, and over 300, [email protected]. Bulk of sales for the day was $15.25@ 16, or 25c lower, and the top of sl6 showed, a 35c drop over the day previous. Cattle. Receipts, 1,100; market slow and 25c lower. The cattle market had a dragging tendency again and prices were generally 25c lower all around, with the exception of canners which have held fairly steady ah week at ss@6. Medium grade cattle are fully 50c lower than at the opening of the week and the good heavy stuff is $1 lower. Bulls have held fairly steady, with buyers bidding lower, but being unable to complete sales at less than steady prices, by reason of limited supply. Steers of good weight have been the hardest hit, salesmen report. Good heavy steers that sold today at sll would have brought sl2 Monday, they claim. * Calves. Receipts. 800; market, $l.PO@2 lower.

FLIGHTY TREND TO GRAIN SALES Market Opened Strong, Only to Slump Later. CHICAGO. March 20.—Trading In grain futures was irregular on the Chicago Board of Trade today. The market opened strong on a good demand and then slumped on weak buying. Receipts were light. Provisions were generally higher. March corn opened late up lc at $1.59 and later dropped lc. May corn opened up %c at $1154 and later gained %c. July corn up %c at the opening of $1.48% and later gained %c. September corn opened at $1.45, up %c, and advanced %e. May oats opened at 85%c, up %c, and later gained %c. July oats up %c at the opening of 78%c, later lost %e. Closing out of spreads of two Wlnnl- j peg houses who failed to clear their trades there caused a late tally in the oats futures today, which led shorts In corn to cover, was the main reason for the final upturn In corn and oats. March corn showed gains of 2%c. May was up 2%@2%c, and July closed l%c higher. May oats options was 101%c higher, July %01c and September %c higher. Hog products had a late rally from the nervous situation that existed during the day. CHICAGO GRAIN. —March 26 CORN—Open. High. Low. Close.

While temperatures are higher In the Atlantic region, the shift of the winds to the west and northwest following the passage of the disturbance has brought cooler weather to the lower and middle Mississippi and Ohio valleys. Precipitation also has fallen In the Pacific region and the depression In the far northwest has advanced slowly eastward to Saskatchewan. X H. ARMUNGTON, Meteorologist.
