Trade in oats was inclined toward dull

grain weakness. May closed easy, Nc lower

Provisions were nervous for a time, but
eventually lost some of their recent gains
on liquidation by longs. The cash situa-
ton was strong and the yards reported a
good hog market. Some of the smaller
packers were inclined to support the mar

to $16.05, but closed PFC lower at $15.92h.
