CHICAGO, March 2.-Wheat aver
aged lower in price today during the
early transactions. Downturns in
quotations at Liverpool tended to
weaken the market here. and so. too,

qu1rements appeared to be filled up
temporarily. Bulls. however, still
contended that world importing
countries are short of actual require
ments more than 100.000,000 bushels.

ate setback all round. and then by

Corn and oats were governed chiefly
by the action of wheat After open
ing unchanged to q lower. May 66 to
66A. the corn market underwent a
further sag and then recovered.
Oats started unchanged TO as down,

Reports that Italy was buying
durum wheat at New York and that
largo sales of Canadian wheat had
been made yesterday to Europe led
to a. material advance in the wheat
market today, and although free SELL
ing insued, the finish was strong. =

1.46h and July 1928. to 1.227s.
Signs of revival in. European de-
mand brought about a good advance
later. which heavy profit-taking sales
failed to offset, except in a more or
less transient manner.
In later dealings the corn market
went upgrade. helped by the fact that
the movement of corn from rural
sources appeared to be falling off in
volume and that export business was
said to be underway at the seaboard.
The close was firm, &afs to rs net
higher, with May rs to 67A.
