Corn-Prospect for some relief IN
the freight situation has had the op
nosite effect to that recorded in the
wheat market. The daily receipls
were not in especially good demand,
local industries having things pretty
much their own way, while country
offerings are not large, conslgn-
ments might well be expected TO IN
crease with an increased car supply.
Oats-The trade is gradually aWaA-
eninR to the fact that oats, the cheap
est and most plentiful cereal we NAYS
this year, are really worth the mon
ey. In spite OF exceptionally heavy
stocks. current arrivals command
good premiums, although bids to ar.
rive are not, in line with spot prices.
outside industries and southern mar
kets continue TO pay above LIS
Chicago basis for oats.
Provisions Continued demand
both foreign and domestic, for cash
meats as can be offered has encour.
aged considerable fresh buying OF
provisions which may well be consia-
cred of a good class.
