sort of buying, however. was insuffi-

is understood that the British COM

Canadian wheat and will confine their
purchases to that country for some
time. The car situation is showing a
marked improvement but in many sec

tons are not favorable to holding
commodities off the market and we
doubt that any such endeavors will
meet with success.
Corn started higher but the trend
was quickly reversed and new low lev

the December and May deliveries. The
