GRAIN QUOTATIONS
E. w. WAGNER G. co.'s REVIEW

CHICAGO, April 14.-Wet weather
over the belt with forecast for more
was the dominating factor in the corn
market today. Advancing provision
prices have also been helpful to the
bulls. Argentine corn continues to be
bought by American interests, a cargo
being reported bought today on a
basis of IA cents under July for April
shipment. The car situation is re-
ported as showing some improvement.
Reports mention county elevators con-
gested in some sections Of Illinois and
Indiana. Trade in oats moderate with
the market inclined to follow corn.
Sample values corn unchanged to 1
cent lower; oats y to l cent higher.
