new low levels on the present down
turn. The deferred deliveries. par
ucufarly the July, were stronger
than the May and the difference mar

cents not long ago. There was evil

estimated at around one million
bushels wheat and flour. The most
encouraging feature of the entire

Corn The prospect of severe
weather and continued good demand

ish, export sales are In excess of the
amounts reported, and live stock Is
selling at record prices. 1t is not
reasonable therefore, to expect much
OF break in corn values.
Oats-The demand for cash oats Is
surprising. No. 3 whites. are selling
IN Chicago today at May price, al
| though oats were never apparently
plentiful in the history OF the trade.
The bearish features are well adver-
tised, however, and with wheat and
| corn advancing, there is likely to be
little profit made In selling oats
short.
