the market turned easy on may indi-
cations of a probable change to bet
ter weather over the belt and July

At these levels the offerings ap-

the end of the first half hour the
market was rather steadier and a few
points above the lows.
The market was comparatively
quiet most of the morning although
there was a fair rally cn the weekly
weather and crop report which was
considered slightly bullish. October
recovered to 20.45 or 10 points above
the lows. but the improvement was
smaller in other positions although
at one time December reached GOAL,

Prices eased off owing to lack Of
