Covering and buying for a reaction
stimulated by tightncss in December,
which made a new high record, caused a
good rally IL corn today after the mar
ket had been heavy.
The start was steady TO a shade higher

not good, owing to more favorable
. weather and removal Of quantity ~restrtc-
lions on trading in coarse grains, which
will become effective on January !.
The lifting Of these rules was regard
ed as bearish. The relaxation does not
abrogate or modify any OF the pro-
visions of the food control act, and
grain men we're warned against ma
nipulate practices,
Oats were depressed by continued
liouidation, induced by a poor domestic
cash and export demand, liberal stocks
and lack of outside support. Cash and
country houses We're fair sellers. Trade
