Corn rallied quickly with wheat. July
opened u to AaS down. at 761aa76A to

Lightness Of offerings in the oats crowd
made the market firm. July started un-
changed to " lower. at 80 to 5O1s, and
rose to JOas. Provision dealers kept their
eyes on the action of corn. and largely
ignored a decline at the yards. Initial
