CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. s. Up An adj
vance Of two cents a bushel today
carried wheat prices to their highest
level in two weeks, May contracts
closing within is of the dollar-a-
bushel mark. No. 2 mixed wheat
sold for $1.01 3-4 in the spot market.
Buying inspired by a forecast of
much colder weather over most OF
the grain belt, giving rise to fear Of
possible crop damage due to freezing
and thawing, apparently was the
most important factor in the up
turn. Rising prices brought numer-
Gus previous "short" sellers into the
pit to their commitments and
this speeded the upturn.
An added factor was evidence of
accelerated European purchases of
farm commodities, including C-.n-
adam wheat and other grains and
some U. S. lard. There were various
reports of U. S. wheat and flour
sales for export from Atlantic and
Gulf ports but government officials
denied that the subsidy program for
these operations had been reinstated.
After an early fractional decline,
wheat rose 1 $50 Is from the lows
and closed 1 III rs higher than
yesterday, May SO 3-4-7-S, July 81
81 IS. Corn finished 1874 up,
May Sc 5-8-3-4, July Sc So; oats 1
higher; rye 1 1-2-1 3-4 up and lard
1916 higher.
Temperatures as low as 5 or 10 de-
grees, above zero were predicted for
some sections Of the hard winter
wheat zone. If reached, these tenn
peratures would compare with yes
terday's high ranging from around
SO to so degrees. Crop experts said
rapid temperature changes in areas
where wheat is not protected by
ample snow might do some harm.
Recent high temperatures were be.
lieved to have erased much of the
snow covering although more pre-
c%ipitation fell the past "a hours and
the morning survey said depth of
snow in Kansas ranged from IL to
4 inches while in Texas and Okla
homa there was no covering.

futures bumped into profit-taking
and speculative selling after a late
shift ahead today. An erratic ses-

Liquidation in the March delivery
by leading spot interests put the
market at a Disadvantage most of
the day. Traders estimated that
nearly so, 900 bales Of the spot month
have been sold in the past week.
Offsetting this pressure was mod
crate support from Bombay and
Liverpool at the start. The far east,
however, offered several thousand
bales of December, which carried
that month back about 6 points.
Low prices were cancelled late in
the day when trade accounts got be-
hind the market and Wall Street in

Allied markets and securities was
accounted the main reason for the
rally. Outside gains were again
pared by renewed pressure.
Bidding appeared a little broader

though prices held steady, trade on
the whole was quiet.
