ing, despite the determined effort OF

ing prices, and the bulk Of the arrivals
was taken by shipping concerns. We
are now practically at the END Of Jam
uary, with little accumulatiops. and a
prospect Of small receirts to take care
Of cereal shipments which local hand
lers have attempted to make this year
for practically the first time since the
war began.
Oats-The early break in oats was
largely on selling by traders who were
impressed by the sharp decline yester-
day in foreign exchange. Export bust
ness was worked on the early break
and sample values held their marked
premiums over futures. In fact. No. 2
white oats gained ~ cents premium,
selling to Sia cents over May.
Provisions-Product was we'll taken
