over developments in the near east.
On the other hand, predictions that
the lake sailors strike would bring
about increased demand for United
States wheat at the Gulf of Mexico
in particular tended somewhat 10
stimulate demand. The opening,
which varied from unchanged figures
to half a cent lower, with Dec. l.oi
to 1.O42s. was followed by a material
upturn all around.
Corn and oats moved up little with
wheat. After opening i4c OFF to a like
advance, Dec. 59b to 592s, the mark
ct scored a slight general upturn.
Oats started &c lower to Ac high.
err. Dec. 36A to Il, and later showed
