CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 6.-lP)-After
a session of rapid fluctuations re-
flecting forecast of colder weather
in the grain belt and estimates
indicating some crop improvement

prices closed today with little net
overnight change.

pared with the previous close, May
s1.o3 3-S-1-e, July $1.0o 5-8-s.4.
Profit taking based on the up.
turn yesterday and hedging of loan
wheat accounted for some of the
selling while the foreign political
situation, with attention centered
on Anglo-Italian relations, attracted
buyers. Dust storms in some 10.
calities of the domestic southwest
and a good local shipping business
also brought some strength to the
pit.
Corn closed unchanged to IA up,
May 81, July 81 3-S; oats 3-S-5.S
up; rye 1-4-3-S higher and lard
2 lower to 2 higher.
Predictions Of colder weather in
parts of Oklahoma and Texas as

This also overshadowed the private
crop reports which emphasized the

NEW YORK, March 6.-P)-Sonne
STRINGS Of buying interest in to.
days bond market accounted for the
pest volume in several weeks and
substantial number OF modest gains
IN virtually all sections of the list.
Revival was partly attributed to
an upturn in the stock market which
looked like response to forecasts
OF more active steel buying and hopes
for spring recovery in other key in.
dustries.
Low yield issues were especially
firm. The treasury's announcement
last Monday that it had no immedi-
ate plans for new bond offerings
other than issues to complete re-
findings, gave the impression in
some quarters the low yield market
might be in the way of acquiring
scarcity aspects.
Except for some softness in few
near-term treasures, the U. S. gov
ernment list was in an advancing
mood and closed with many gains
ranging from 2-32ds to 22-32ds of a
point.

Increase In Retail
Food Prices Reported

WASHINGTON, March G. Up -
Retail food prices increased 1.3 per
cent between Jan. 16 and Feb. 13,
the Bureau Of Labor Statistics re.
ported today.
This rise was due to advances for
eggs, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables
and dairy products, reversing the
usual seasonal movement for these
items the report said. "In addi-
tion, costs Of flour and white bread
continued to advance"
Prices rose in all of the 81 cities
surveyed except Dallas, Mobile and
Kansas City, where sharp reductions
in meat prices resulted in slight de.
clines in the average for all goods.

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, March 6.-R-
Small-calibre selling was enough to
force cotton futures back today.
While extreme losses were shaded
a bit late in the session, closing
prices were off 4 to 10 points.
Lower foreign markets paved the
way for declines at the start. News
of another increase in certified
stocks Cotton which may be de.

tracted fire on the spot month and
losses were extended
Selling lessened near the finish
and the list recovered bit.
Stocks of certified cotton have
increased about 5000 bales since
the first of March and now amount
to little more than 10000 bales,
The increase in certification,
brokers explained, appeared due to
"a lower basis in the south where
mill and new foreign buying was
negligible. In some parts of the
southwest, it was added, cotton has
declined enough to put the staple
on tenderable basis.
Worth street reported only small
inquiry. Mills held firmly to list
prices but buyers were reluctant
to make extended commitments.
