urated and the market declined sharply 1Mc.
but steaded and recovered slowly, the latest
trading Of the day being at figures only
! shade lower than the closing of saturday;
! n
market, while kilograms from the winter
| wheat districts spoke more encouragingly of
/ the outlook; this, with fine weather and warm
/ rains, caused the early selling; reports Of an
other cold wave and kilograms asserting that
/ the winter wheat outlook had in no wise i'm
| proved was given as the reason for the later
advance. Speculation in corn was of mod
| crate character, and trading was somewhat
| unsettled, sympathizing more or less with
wheat; the market was steady at the opening,
/ after winch prices broke 1sc, then steadily
| improved, with free buying by some prOmi-
! nent Operators, which finally alarmed the
shorts" and caused a sharp advance of nc.
