higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was
easy and l-2c lower, closing steady.
Corn-A slightly weaker feeling pre-
vailed i'm corn. The less bellicose nature
of the early press dispatches and the
apparent restoration OF confidence on
European exchanges were mainly the

corn was easier the nominal close, how

lures.
Oats-Liberal receipts. the peaceful Eu-
ropean news of the early morning, ana
the action of wheat and corn, all tended
to discourage the buying OF oats. Busl-
ness was moderately active, and prices
were easy until shortly prior 10 the close,

that that was partially removed caused

ing in grain, was adverse TO provision
values. The May option on pork and
