easier tone but buying orders grew
heavy when the market stood around

side of the buyers.
There was some realizing in corn
today and this market also showed an
easier tone. The demand for corn for
immediate delivery continues heavy
and traders expect a resumption OF
the bull movement. Southwest mar
kets were higher for both cash and

The trade in oats was firm with a
heavy demand for the July futures
There was some heavy selling on the
