vices from Argentina and more favor
able weather for the movement of grain

from last night as the market taken Alto

casts Of more intense cold hardened the
market for corn. May opened uncha e.
ed to shade higher at 651s to 651sa6JN,
touched 65a85ls. and rallied to 65H.

oats crowd. AS a result prices sag ed.
May started the same as last lEht to u
off at 49ss to 49k. recovered to 40HaDes.
and fell back to 49saA0h.

veloped In provisions. but was evenly
on both sides Of the mar
ket. In consequence the price level re-
manned steady. Initial sales varied
from sc of to a shade up. with May
