to be the weakening feature of the
situation and the closing heaviness of
wheat was an added help to the bears as
the market was coming to close. A fur
Jner break to 53 cents was experienced
about ten minutes from the close. The
local bears pounded the market viciously

bulls ran and threw away their load as
they fed May declined to SO cents or 1$S

The business in oats was of rather linn
