The spring wheat markets Jagged per-

advance then in those markets was no
greater than u own. The Market

period in the spring wheat situation Is
upon us, but one important fact must
not be overlooked, namely that condt-
tions up to the present time have been
phenomenally good.
Corn-The prevailing influence in
corn today was the continued
in cash prices, which was reelected In
the near futures. There were no COM
plants regarding the growing crop nj
therefore the deferred futures sympa-

strength in wheat undoubtedly aided
corn values to some extent but we
note a lack of new buying.
Oats-As noted in u letter OF yes

improvement and the same continued
today. Cash prices were L to 2 higher.
Some reports of excessive rains delay

We do not look for any sustained ad-
