At first, cold wave predictions to-

slant. There was a lack of aggressive

able to force a reaction. largely through
advices that an increase In the number
of cars available at country stations was

other hand. railroad outlets east of here
remained clogged. Weakness of wheat

Influence on the corn market fin the late

Oats were governed by the changes in
corn. Most of the trade was local.
In provisions selling for stock yard
interests more than offset hog market
upturns. Besides, lard exports showed
a falling off.
