The contangoes in this department were 1% | 2nd discount increased. Both London and New Vork bought Anacondas strongly all day, but there wes no explanation of the movement. Tintos also went up on French buying. The bank received £124,000 from Holland and bought £29,000 in bars. Time and call money were in strong demand, | a1l loans due the bank were renewed and a very !large fresh loan and discount business was done, estimated at £1.500,000, on account of scarcity of funds due to war loan deposits. .

PEACHES—Peele e e L N R *- { Chicago Grain Market. * CHICAGO, March 12.—Corn took the lead of the speculative markets at the beginning of the session, as it did Saturday, and held it throughout a sensational day. Interest in the coarse cereal has not been so general in years | as it was to-day. The predictions were made | that the market would follow cotton and *‘go wild” within a short time, basing the predic- tions on the chances of unfavorable conditions during the planting season. The greater part of the session the pit was a struggling mass of frantic men, none more frantic than the shorts, who were compelled to cover with heavy losses. Fortunes were made and lost in that wild scramble for the cereal which the statistics arce in many sec- s over Saturday at tions. May opened %@} | 3%@36%c. The Government report, which | seemed to be the main motive in the upward | course of the market, showea 27,000,000 bushels more in farmers’ hands than there was a year ago. The quantity on ocean passage decreased 2,208,000 bushels and is now down to 8,848,000 bushels. The visible increased over & mil- lion, but the supply is now 21,060,000 bushels, compared with 34,033,000 bu a year ago. The world's shipments were small and Liver- pool was up %d. This array of Information furnighed the stimulus for the initial gain and the awakening of shorts and others. = The price until 11 o'clock did not vary much from the opening figures. Then it began to shoot up. Nothing could stop it apparently and us the anxious shorts bid higher and higher men in other pits quit thelr work to look on, if not to participate. The demand seemed limitless, although the advance carried the cash article out of line with export bids. May touched 33@3§%4c on the bulge and closed 1%c over Saturday at iTH@3sc, The corn market began to move upward from 29i4c about four months ago. Saturday the s at hucmsc ior lny-fl 4 e e wheat market was dominated by t! strength. The statistics were beui'{h.h‘m was a large increase in world's shipments and on passage and receipts were heavy. Cables were steady, making about the only independ- ent support’ the market had throughout the lon, when it was drowned out of the com- mercial orchestra by noise in the corn pit. The cash demand was checked by the advance and altogether the trade was not {mportant, being merely a feeble reflection of corn market. May opened unchanged &t 85%@66e, | touched 6%c and recovered to 66440, with corn, . closing ¢ over Saturday at 66% A The trade in oats was not important, but the market was helped by tne corn strength. May closed K@%c higher at 24c, Provisions were strong and the trade broad.
