Sugar Market au hs.aafaAa n


 New York, March 22-The local market for raw sugar continued strong on renewed buying by refiners, prompted by reports of decreased crop estimates. The Cuban crop was estr- mated early in the season around 4,400,00o tons, but. according to latest reports. these have been reduced to 100000 tons.

POOR WHEAT OUTLOOK IS CAUSE OF BULLISH T R A DIN G IN GRAIN
Both Corn and Oats Make Substantial Gains, While Provisions Looked
 Up 15c to 45c
by A.socIated Prss,

By Associated Press
 Chicago, March 22.-Unfavorable condi- tions for winter wheat in Kansas and Nebraska had bullish effect today on the corn market. Closing prices were nervous, slsc to s7sc net higher, with May $l5S% to s1s9 and July s152ss to s1521k. Cats gained 3se to INC and provisions 1k@45c
 Although normally a big abandoned wheat area would mean an increased corn acreage, this factor was ignored today in the corn market. The reason given was that there is such an acute labor shortage no more than an ordinary amount of corn planting could be hoped for regardless of what might happen to, wheat. Reports, therefore, of con- tinued dry weather and of high winds and dust storms threatening the winter wheat crop in large sections of Kansas and Nebraska led to anxiety on the part of the bears on the corn trade.
 Besides the scantiness of arrivals of corn at primary centers tended to em- phasize the insufficiency of stock on hand. On the consequent advance, not withstanding important profit-taking, July and September deliveries resched the highest prices yet this season.
 Oats were strengthened by the action of corn. Furthermore, receipts were meager.
