Corn-Weather conditions satisfac-
tory, cold and clear, and favorable for
Smelling and marketing as we'll as
grading. More moderate temperatures
will permit railroads to recover from
the demoralizing caused by storms and
extremely cold weather. A sharp in

on May delivery. The cash market
was nc higher. Receipts today 119
cars.
