CHICAGO. May 14.-Corn sharply
advanced in price today, more as a
result of lack of selling ressure than
on account of any great buying.
Opening prices, which ranged from
IL off to Is advance. with July LIS
to 1.75h and September 1.62 to 1929
were followed by decided general
gains.
Oats hardened with corn. After
opening Aak lower to u up, includ-
ing July at 91% to 91ss, the market
scored a moderate rise all around.
Weakness in hog values had de-
pressing effect on provisions For
eign interests were said to have been
free sellers of lard.
