try, but 1t is only a question Of time
until the worlds shortage will be felt
generally and reflected In higher
| prices.
Corn-Yesterday's large cash busi-
ness and further export bids in the
market prevented any serious de-
cline. The market sympathized to
some extent with wheat, but net
losses for the day was only about ~
cents. Omaha reported the receipt
of two cars of new corn which graded
well and sold at q fancy price for this
season of the year. The cash situa-
ton continues to support the price Of
futures.
Oats-Oats were dali and the range
!, consequently narrow. Changing or
ders constituted the bulk OF business.
Clearances continue large. There is
no lack Of supplies at present and the
difficulty Of securing cars to move
out the large Accommodations is pre-
venting sustained bull market.
There is. however, such a good de-
mand for the cash article that little
decline In values Is anticipated.

Mules--Arrivals for the week thus

mand for good fat big mules, but
while the movement was better these
