cents In a few minutes, showing that
there was "a short interest in the
September oats option, estimated at
100000 bushels. Shorts bid furl-
ously for the grain at various times
during the day in an effort to close
up accounts before the expiration of
the time limit, this being the last day
on which deliveries could be made.
The sensational advance in oats,
which makes total gain of more
than 10 cents for the week, was due
to the concentration of the bulk. or
the contract grain in the hands OF a
few leading cash grain interests.

squeeze of shorts that occasioned the
startling finals. Trade in the Septem-
Der option was rather brisk during
