Corn closed unchanged 10 Lie

Lard closed to zoe lower and ribs

There was little life in the wheat
trade today. 1t was almost entirely
n local trade and throughout the
morning the market appeared unable
to make any Roadway in either di-
rection. Shortly before midday. how
ever, the market seemed TO sag under
its own weight and the low points
were made in the last half of the
session.
Corn trade was slow. but the mar
ket exhibited stubbornness. There was
fair commission house support on the
dip. while locals pressed corn for sala
on the bulges. Corn crop was bcttered
by recent rainfall.
