der the close OF Saturday. We are
passing through discouraging period
as far as shipping conditions are con-
cerned, and the immediate future is
indicative OF some further setback In
prices. The long distance outlook.
however, is for shortage OF supplies
and high prices.
Corn-Corn followed the course OF
wheat. Western roads are placing
fresh emhargoes against shipments to
Chicago, which would be bullish II
eastern shipping were not so re-
stricted. The cash market was
heavy, with futures, only limited
demand existing for local car lots.
While the visible supply showed an
increase OF over one million bushels.
total stocks are only 11,S95.000 bush
els as compared with seventeen mil
lion last year.
Oats-Oats, Ike other grains. re-
ceived poor support on an early bulge
Shipping difficulties and the closing
down OF several of the largest local
elevators affected the market adverse
IL. While the visible supply Is In
creasing rapidly, it is still large and
acts as q constant handicap TO the
bull. This phase OF the situation has
been pretty well discounted however,
and investors On breaks are taking
less risk than in speculative commodi-
ties
