OFFERINGS ARE FREE AT
THE OPENING.
Market Is Narrow and Mainly in
the Hands of Local Profes-
sional Traders.

Grains were weak at the opening but
there was a good rally toward the end of
the session and closing prices on all active
options were slightly higher. The market
was never active and trading was mainly
in the hands of small spectators. Weather
reports from southern portions of the win
ter belt showed that conditions were favor
able for harvesting and foreign advices held
out no encouragement to the buying side.
Selling was somewhat free until the last
hour. when bullish Weather Bureau crop
report and Northwestern drought news
ceused the recovery OF the early losses.
