more than was heretofors generally De-
iieyed to Be the case Moreover, through
out the day the uncertainty OF the indus
trial outlook continued to discourage IN

Revival Of export demand helped 70
strengthen the oats market. A. bulge IN
foreign exchange rates, although et firHt
apparently ignored was later an evident
stimulus to buyers.
Provisions took an upward swing - a.
result Of packers bidding for lard, ana be-
cause of higher quotations or hogs. Weak
