GRAIN MARKETS
WERE IRREGULAR
Wheat Split Changes-Corn
Gained-Oats Steady-Cof-
fee Up a Little.

After easier foreign markets had caused
a decline in wheat here there was late
rally on covering and while there was
no aggressiveness on the part OF bulls the
upturn left the close net &c down to the
same amount advance Increased offer
ings from Russia, which stirred Argentine
shippers into activity and checked the ex-
port trade here, caused the decline, but
uneasiness regarding Western weather
conditions frmed the market up and
prompted the recovery Corn was down
at the start on poor cash demand and
lower foreign markets, but the govern
ment report on farm animals was con-
sldered rather bulllsh from the feeding
point Of view, and free Western buying
caused covering and an advance to net
unchanged to a gain Of sc. oats were
quiet and closed unchanged.
There was an advance in the cost ana
freight market and higher quotations
from European markets, the result be-
ing that there was firmness In the local
trade, with higher prices at the opening
followed by a further advance. There
was a moderate setback near the close,
but final figures showed net gain OF 10
10 II points. The trading was without
character, and the advance seemed based
entirely on foreign conditions.
