At first an absence Of any pronounced
selling pressure gave an upward slant
to the corn market. UnseasonabIy
warm weather and prediction of show
ers tended to handicap the bears, as
such conditions formed an evident him
drance to improving the quality of the
new crop Talk OF persistent car scar
city operated also as a factor in hard
ening values. Toward the end of the
session. however, more cheerful opin-
ions seemed to take a grip on the ma

popular that enough cars would soon
be furnished to provide ample accom-
mediation for immediate Commercial
needs Gossip was current that all re-
ceiving houses had noted an increase

entirely local The bulk of transac-
