We're about to go to war. Deferred de-
liveries rallied somewhat from inside
July showing more strength than the
others Closing prices were at losses
at 2A to Az cents. Buying OF May
and July by brokers who usually act
for cash interests led to the belief that
a considerable amount of cash bust
ness had been worked. but no informa-
ton was given out at the close. Both
millers and foreigners are said to be
in the market for supplies. Move
ment figures were bearish. Local ar
rivals for the week being l,6Ss,o0o bu-
shells and shipments only $4,000 bu-
shells. Total primary receipts were
also much heavier than shipments.
Corn-The feature In corn was the
selling Of May and buying by cash in
terests. There was also scattered
liquidation early in the day and con-
siderable bear pressure from locals.
AS the result of operations by ware
house interests the May delivery
closed at B-cent decline, while the de-
ferred deliveries were 70 "a q cents
lower. Cash demand was somewhat
improved and was of liberal volume
for Saturday. Sales Of 100000 were
given out though probably more was
worked.
OatvThe action IN oats were differ
ent from that Of other grains. the net
decline being less and the far off de-
livery being the weakest. Final figures
we're 4 to a0sa lower. Buying by
commission houses and cash interests
offset in a measure liquidation. On
break elevator interests were fair buy
ers of May. Domestic sales said to
amount to 10000 and there were some
inquiry from the seaboard tho nothing
vas reported sold. Movement statistics
were not so bearish as in other grains,
the weeks local arrivals being 100000
bushels against shipments OF 2,941,e00
bushels.
Provisions-F'ree liquidation brought
a decline in provision prices. Lard
packers was evident in ribs and lard
and, on the decline, shorts covered in
pork. Cash trade was dull, owing to
liberal hog receipts and the action Of
the speculative markets.
