BIZ Unitei Press
p CHICAGO, April 5.--Grain prices
opened irregular on the Chicago
Board OF Trade today.
Wheat opened fractionally lower
in all deliveries. At the beginning
of the session local traders were in
a quandary as to how to handle May
wheat. Many close observers say
there is less short holding in this
delivery than Is believed generally
This delivery more than any other
has kept operators on edge through
out the present movement. Today's
statistics are expected to be moder
ately bullish, with a good sized de-
crease in the visible supply and Chi
cago stocks.
Corn opened Is higher in the May
and September deliveries, but un-
changed in the July. This grain
lacks incentive to induce purchasing.
Oats opened fractionally higher in
the July and September deliveries.
but unchanged in the May. This
grain is devoid of features and lack
ing in active trading. Provisions
