BULLISH TONE
ADVANCES ALL
Grain FUTURES
Wheat and Corn Make Good
Gains, and Oats Follows
in Sympathy.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Strength at
Winnipeg caused a rally in wheat on
the Chicago Board of Trade, today,
and early losses we're recovered.
Corn strengthened with wheat and
advanced a fraction despite heavy
receipts. Oats was slightly higher
late in the day.
Wheat closed Is to q cent higher;
corn, 4 to IS cent off and oats UNI
changed to Il cent higher. Provi-
sionS closed higher.
Wheat opened a fraction lower.
on the bearish world situation and
weakness at Liverpool. There was
fair buying on the dip, however, and
when Winnipeg prices started up
ward, all futures f1rmed. Most
traders awaited developments and
the session was quiet. Receipts
were 16 cars and the cash market
held unchanged.
Receipts of 512 cars of corn gave
that market an early weak tone.
Most traders are inclined to buy,
however, and when wheat flrmed,
the recovery in corn was easy. Cold
weather over the belt was expected
to increase the marketing move
ment. Cash declined &c on that
factor.
Despite low farm reserves. and the
visible supply of only half last
years figure, oats continued dull.
Prices followed the upturn in other
grains slightly. Receipts were 40
cars, and cash oats were unchanged.

a single month. exceeds the Septem-
Der mark. which was 26.7s9, by more
thans1650 cars and outdistances Oc-
tober. 1927, when the production
was 22.33S, by more than 5000 cars.

was almost exactly reversed.
