weather conditions southwest where
rains were expected to improve thin
! fields wonderfully. The opening,
which ranged from &c to 1sc lower,
with May at 1.067s to 1.0712 and July
at 1852 to Los, was followed by some
additional losses.
/ Assertions that rains southwest had
been insufficient to break the drought
led afterward to a rally. Besides,
reports We're persistent that there
had been heavy winter killing in Mis-
souri,, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The
close was strong 12c to SAC net high
er with May at 1853. and July at
106%.
Heavy selling to stop losses sent
corn sharply downgrade. The chief
buying was on the part of speculative
shorts. After opening 1ac to 11sc
down, the market rallied trifle, but
then sank lower than before.
The market recovered then made
an upturn. The close was firm at IS
TO A@ssc net advance.
Oats fell with corn and wheat

provisions. Buying however was only
of moderate volume.
