May wheat opened at o4Is0 55e, sold Lelween 55Bd55I2 and 5iI2 G54 7Sc, closing at 55c bid, A@ssc under saturday. Cash wheat was dull and not particularly changed.
 Corn was willing to go either way, and self ing by local proie ssion als of only moderate quantities accounted for the downward course M4os46 and Acc, closing at 46A G46ssc, ssc under Saturdays prices. Cash corn held well, and no change in prices was quotabe.
