TRADING III WHEAT IS CONTROLLED BY BEARISH SENTIMENT i (Br Associated Press) CHICAGO," Feb. 21. Bearish sentiment developed in the wheat market today largely as a result of assertions that improvement in the railway situation would not meet the hopes which had recently prevailed and that the road would be again overcrowded. Unwillingness to hold risks open over a holiday tended also to curtail buying. In addition, yesterday's bulge bad reduced the short interest and left the market in a position to respond readily to pressure. Opening quotations, which ranged from the same as yesterday's finished to VM lower, with May at $1.79 V3 to $1.80 and July at $1.60 to $1.514. were fallowed by a decided Rpneral setback. Prospects of enlarged shipments from the country tended to weaken ccrn. . Buyers were scarce. Alter opening unchanged to Uc lower, prices underwent a moderate sag all 'around. Outs gave way with other cereals. A tig elevator company led the selling. Sharp advances in the bog market lifted provisions. Demand, however, was not urgent.
