Corn and oats are each up a shade. Pro-

Weakness in foreign grain markets and

| ed an improvement in crop prospects
now that rain and milder temperature
have had time to show their effect. Ad-
vices from the northwest also reported
prospects good for early seeding. Senti-
ment consequently was quite bearish, and
selling orders in large numbers came
out at the start. Initial quotations on
July were down 3sd1c at S5a4 0s5s.c Dur
ing the first hour no support was forth
coming and prices declined still further,
July selling off to S54c At this lower
point there was much covering by shorts
Many Of the earlier sellers turned buy
ers. AS the session advanced the situa-
ton became stronger. the demand becom-
ing more general in character There
was good buying by the northwest under
the influence Of better demand for -four
at Minneapolis. Much of the late bull
ishness, however was due not only to the
strength of the cash situation, but to re-
ne foir cip
board. The market closed strong at the
/ top final figures on July being at 567sc.

ceipts were 1873 cars
Provisions were weak on persistent SELL
ing by commission houses in the face OF
only moderate demand. The early weak
ness in grains and a decline of 10d15c in
the price of hogs were the main bear
factors. The market closed weak with
