NEW WORK, March 81 Up -
Cottonseed oil futures broke the
sharp decline of Tuesday in trade
today but managed gains of only l
to 2 points.
While buoyant securities markets
appeared the chief upward influ-
ence this was offset by weakness in
hogs, barely steady grain prices and
inactive demand for actual oil.
Sales totaled 9,195; May 6.54, July
$50, Sep. 6.62 bid, Oct $50 bid.
Crude Oil was lowered 1;S cent a
