the big increase shown-S,0iS,e bushe s.
was not permanent. however, the buying

turning prices TO about the opening quo
tations, which were still below the close
of Saturday.
Almost ali of the statistics OF Monday
were against prices. There was very
noticeable absence of confidence among

potent factor. Slight gains in price were
made before the close. May oats closed

were l-4Gizc per bushel lower, closing
