prices %fluctuated uncertainty today
and after gaining 5-8 cent dropped
to as much as 7-8 cent under prev
ious closing levels.
Early firmness due to moderate
buying, some Of which was credited
to mills, lifted May contracts to 81
So and July to "a 7-8, both up SD
cent. Lack of follow through buy
ing and filure Of Winnipeg to hold
early gains, however, dropped
prices, May falling to SO IA and
July to. SO So. There was little
news to influence the market in
either direction and trade was
light during most of the session.

Resumption of export business in
United States wheat under the
subsidy program recently reinstat-
ed on the Pacific coast attracted
attention. Sales of about 300,0 600
bushels to the Orient were reported
made at a subsidy Of about 80 cents
a bushel.
The governments weekly crop
summary said the condition Of win
ter wheat had changed little, but
that good snow coverage still pro-
tected much of the principal pro-
|ducing areas. Some southwest por-
tons of the belt, previously cover
ed, however, were said to have be-
come bare. Actual benefit Of snow
fall in the. southwest to winter
wheat, it added, still was a ques'
ton.
Corn futures, after showing
steadiness early, developed an cas-
Ter tone, due largely to weakness
in the cash market, where prices
we're 10 to a cent lower. No ex
port business was reported and E
report by the department Of agri
