rather quiet today and wheat closed
easy, with May off lac. May corn was
shade higher, but oats were down
fraction. Provisions closed strong,
with May products from 10@12 1-2c to
15c higher.
Wheat ruled dull and the volume of
business was small and largely local.
Opening prices were steady on firm
cables, May being unchanged to 1-Sc
lower at "A Sac to "A lie. Early in
the day there was considerable buy
ing on prospects of a cold wave, the
weather map showing zero weather
in the extreme Northwest, with pos
sibilities of it's extending over large
part of the winter wheat belt. May
advanced to "A 5-Sc on the strength
of the promised colder weather, but
later on reports of larger Argentine
shipments than had been previously es-
timated, the market eased- off again,
May selling down to IA 1-Sc. During

Not Much Interest in Corn,
There was little of interest in the
trading in corn, and the volume of
business was small. Higher cables i'm
parted strength at the start and shorts
were quite active buyers for a time,
but the demand soon slackened. and
the market eased off, and the close
was about unchanged, May being a
shade higher at 44044 1-Sc, after sell
ing between 43 7-S@44@44 1-2c. Local
receipts were 156 ears, with none of
contract grade.
Oats ruled dull along with other
grains, and prices showed little change.
Shorts were fair buyers early in the
day, with commission houses the best
sellers. The cash market was dull,
with light offerings, and receipts were
small at 125 cars. May closed a shade
lower at "a 1-4034 3-8c; after ranging
between "a 1-4@34 3-8c and "a 1-2c.
Provisions opened firm on a strong
hog market, but later eased off with
the weaker tone in the grain pits. In
the later half of the session. fair
scattered demand developed, and there
was also good buying by prominent
scalper which resulted in rally, the
close being strong, with May pork up
15c at SIS. May lard was IL lie higher
at $40, and ribs were 1922 1-2c better
at $3.50.
