long time. There were a few mode
but at no time did trading assume the

yesterday. Cash wheat was steady.
Corn-Tradlng was of about the custo'
kept the market from falling into complet'
lirelessness, but their business was mo-
essentially important. All the transac
tons were based on the ruling tone Of

| at % 7-Sc.-unchanged.
Cash corn showed no material change
In prices. Offerings were moderate.
Oats exhibited an inclination 10 follow
