Unfavorable Weather Brings in

and oats, TO new high.price records
Tor the season. Opening at i 10 d
cents gain corn held most of the adj

to "a cents up, but later receded to
below yesterdays finish. Oats fol-
lowed corn. Provisions also showed
strength.
Rapid price changes and big trading

day. Corn was the leader much of

places. For example. dispatches at
hand said southwest Missouri has only
40 per cent Of corn planted. whereas
the average date of planting is April
Is and fully half of what has been
planted has failed to germinate.
Selling out to realize profits was
feature in the wheat markets. Early
price bulges were taken advantage
of to unload holdings, and the wheat
weakness which ensued acted at times
as a drag on corn and other grain.
On the other hand. reports from the
Southwest told OF the wheat crop con.
tinuing to deteriorate and weather
conditions in Canada were again re-
ported adverse.
