wheat news was slightly discouraging

and rallied the Winnipeg market ! 1-2
to two cents.
May closed unchanged. July 1-8c
lower and Sept. 7-8c higher.
Coarse grain futures were generally
strong. After all early faint spell
corn recuperated rapidly and gained
a cent. Flax met with poor support
and closed 2 1-2c lower for May de-

A few more elevator buyers we're

Winter wheat was easy and slow.
Durum was in quiet to fair demand

Cash corn demand was quiet to

Rye seemed a little slower than the

Advances Were, Associated with
Statements Made by Chair

Chicago, Feb. 19.-R-Scarcity OF
offerings helped to turn grain prices
upward Thursday toward the last.
Advances were associated with state
ments by Chairman Legge of the fed
eral farm board that he regarded re-
cent news on wheat as rather favor
able. There was also purchasing of

Wheat closed firm, unchanged to

Big primary arrivals of domestic
wheat. 1,002, 900 bushels compared
WIN 639,ON a year ago, gave bears
an advantage. Rallies were promot-
ed at times, however, by advices that
foreigners were buyers of future de-
nvertes ut Winnipeg, and that export
bids just under the market were
numerous. Word of heavy rains in
Argentina tended to offset earlier
predictions of increased shipments
from that country.
Declines In corn brought about pur-
chasing for recent speculative sellers
and led 20 advances in come cases.
Differing from wheat, corn primary
receipts showed a falling off in VOL
