Wheat. corn and oats all took an up
ward swing in value today. with corn
again overlapping the high price reg
ord for the season. Realizing OF prot
Ats. however. eliminated much OF the
advance which was moro or less due
to predictions of a cold wave. Wheat

In corn there was l to &c gain. with
oats TO Icmac UP. and provisions

With the leading domestic markets
receiving only 2sS carloads of wheat
today against 957 cars a year ago. and
further cutting down of the move

sponded 10 notable strength in the corn
market and to other bullsh factors.
Conspicuous among these was the
news that lack of snow covering IN
parts of winter wheat belt led TO un-
"a siness over possible damage from a
freeZe-up. Besides, an unexpected
bulge in wheat quotations at Liver
pool was associated with reports CT
serious delay 10 wheat shipments from
Argentina as well as from the Danube.
Corn trade was on a big scale. with
demands limited by reports that viz
tually no corn was obtained on over

Pit observers could see no evidence of
selling either on the part of leading
interests that have OF late been on the
buying side of future deliveries. Mean
while the weather outlook indicated
that. entirely aside from tie extreme

movement would be nleasre for some

Oats showed more activity as a re-
suit of increased feeding demand. May
