Corn-Local traders seemed to ex

wheat and were fairly liberal sellers
OF corn. The market became over

tuated f~ractionally today, on bearish
weather news which was counterfeit
ed by good support on an early UP.
May ruled around Ills, slightly be-
low last nights close, and July
around 1855. Big buyers gave me
shorts a brief scare shortly after the
opening, but it vas short lived.
Corn had a week start, but prices
acted In sympathy with wheat. Both
May and July sold at 741s, Il up from
the opening.
Moderate buying boosted oats u for
both May and July, the former ruling
around AZ and the latter around 4Ih.
Provisions were .ligher on the
higher hog market.
