Oats finished * to IL cents down and

numbers of eastern cars were reported
as having been delivered to western
roads. and as being rapidly distributed
in the corn belt. 1t was further an
nounced that energetic measures had

by farmers. Under such circumstances
unfavorable weather was soon more
than offset as bullish influence.
The market, however, held within
