CHICAGO, Feb. 29-Under avalanche of
commission house selling, which set in shortly

closed out his May line. Shorts also bought
moderately. the result being a partial recovery
in prices. The close fairly steady at the
decline, with May at 81 OF. July closed at

considerable commission house buying of corn
early in the session, and the market was firm

taking due to that weakness. The selling was
mainly by longs. The May option showed
