movement and dragging the other op-
tions with it.
May wheat opened steady at 131 to
1.3Ok, moved up momentarily on
buying by northwestern connections,
but receded quickly when eastern
houses started selling July. At the
end OF the first hour May was 1.29Z
and July was 1.07. as compared with
its easy opening at 1.071a to 1.07A. ,
Corn and oats reflected wheat con-
ditions generally. May corn started
" lower at 60h, moved up y cent,
then settled to COS. July opened at
63k to 63A, and was virtually the
same figure an hour later. In oats
the July option started unchanged at
39k, and was generally steady until
near the end of the first hour. when
it lost Il cent.
Provisions were firmer with hogs.
There was some buying by packers
and brokers. but offerings were gen.
orally light. July lard early sold at
1880. as compared with 1922 at yes
terday's close.
Fairly persistent wheat buying by
comm ission houses and a generally
steady cash market served to firm up
the market later. Country offerings
remained light. The close was fairly
steady with May at 1.31 to 1.30a and
July at 1.07Ha1.07%.
Sales to the seaboard and cash mar
ket conditions generally gave corn a
strong undertone throughout the ses-
sion. At the end May was SlMaSIA
and July 63x.
