Chicago Grain.
Chicago, 111., March 30.—Efforts at ^
covering by shorts of the larger kind
led to a recovery today in the price
of Avheat. The fact that cables did not
fully reflect yesterday’s decline here
tended also to cause a nrmer feling.
I'\irthermore signs pointed toward
greatly reduced shopments from Rua-
tria and the Argentine. Some attention
too was given to a report that green
bugs Avere threatening crops in South
ern Oklahoma and north Texas. Open
ing figures were 1-8 higher to 1-4 otf.
Alay started at 86 to 86 l-4a3-S, the
same change from last night as the
market as a whole. A rise of 86 1-2 fol
lowed.
•\bsence of pressure let corn as'cend
Avith Avheat. Demand, however, Avas
not large. May opened nnclianged to
1-8 np at 47 l-2a.j-.S and climbed to
47 7-8.
Commission houses afforded support
‘or oats. There was moderate buying
on the part of a itrominent local dealer
-May started a shade to 1-S lovA'er at
