pected gave the wheat market Q
rather bullish ttnge here today. Tho

hcient during the last six weeks in
Of the plant has been retarded. The
early trading was rather light, but
the market showed a rather firm I'M
dertone, with moderate buying by
commission houses and short cover
ing. The May delivery. which broke
on scattered buying, but the bulk of

Corn and oats were dull, but some
what firmer, due more to lack of
pressure than anything else. The

scored slight gains, then suffered q

. ures to Mas higher at the start,
with July 3sh to 3sha3s%, and then
