FEED:-Most feedstuffs show east
er tendency. Western prices held
firmer than eastern quotations. Cot
tonseed and Linseed meal declined
another dollar without bringing out
any demand of volume. Gluten and
hominy feed situation unchanged but
inqliry remains slow. Pressure from
West is noted in eastern markets to
sell wheatfeeds for March. April and
May shipments. Offerings for early
shipment are rather small. Interior
stocks considered good. Shipments
and production fair. Movement good
in most sections but somewhat re-
tarded in east through congestion.
