GRAIN.

Chicago, April 29.-Clearer knowl-
edge OF the attitude OF the food ad-
ministration in regard to hedging
trades brought about a sharp up
turn today in corn prices.
Unfavorable weather led alter
ward to continued show OF
strength, but in the last half hour
the market weakened because of
realizing.
The close was unsettled at the
same as Saturdays finish to 3-S
cent higher, with May l,27 3-S and
July l.49 5-8 to LAO 3-4.
Contrary to somewhat general
previous understanding, the govern
ment does not make it obligatory
on cash grain handlers to hedge
holdings. AS a result, buying to-
day was active and selling pressure
was light, until a material advance
had been scored,
Opening prices, which ranged
from l-S cent off to ? So cents up
with May $l.27 IA to $l.27 3-8, and
July $l.50 to Sl.5l, were followed
by slight setback and then d
fresh ascent.
Oats took an upward swing with
corn. On the bulge, though, offer
ings increased. After opening 3-S
cents to Is cents higher, witt
May 81 IL to 81 cents, the market
underwent moderate reaction.
Liquidation by owners of MAY
pork caused that delivery to suffei
big break.
The decline in pork reached ST ;
barrel, the extreme limit allowed for
