GRAIN MARKET STEADY,
WITH LIiilTED TRADING.
WHEAT CLOSES SLIGHTLY
HIGHER.
Germ Well Supported Early in the
Session, but Weak in Last
Hour.

So far as changes IN price were concerned
there was practically no change in prices
in either wheat or corn yesterday. At the
opening prices were lower. but unsettled
weather and prospects of heavy rains in the
West and Southwest caused a rally at the
end Of the first hour. Corn strength aided
In keeping values up.

crossed TO n stage where the percentage IT,
