Grain 3riefs CHICAGO, March I.—Crops damaged by the recent cold spell are showing some recovery, but conditions remain poor, the Government weekly crop report stated. Late wheat ill Kentucky and the Ohio valley suffered eonsideribly. Sufficient precipitation was reported over Missouri, while iho do'tght continues in parts of Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma. Country offerings of all grains were reported light, but them is still a good deal of grain running from country elevators to terminals. Heavy rains in India have douo considerable damage to ripening grain. The general tendency of the wheat market during tho past week in the direction of closer alkrrment between M*v nnd July futures have had an encouraging influence on flour buyers. Shipments of wheat and flour from the Northwest have been very heavy. Dressed Beef Prices Wholesale selling prices of dressed beef. Swift & Cos.: Ribs—No. 2,18 e; No. 3,14 c.
