CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Jan. 17-R-Although
prices dipped fractionally at times,
the wheat markets downward
trend was checked today by pur-
chasing originating with previous
"short' sellers and milling inter
ests. Forecast of colder weather
over much of the grain belt had a
steadying influence.
Wheat closed unchanged to IL
higher compared with yesterday,
May IS 7-8 to 81, July 81 80 to 49,;
corn 1-8 off to 1-8 up, May So SO,
July 63 IL to So; oats 1-8 to Ia
lower; soybeans IA to SO higher;
rye unchanged to 1-8 off and lard
unchanged to 5 higher.
Easiness of securities resulted
in some selling of wheat a times.
The cold wave was expected to
spread as far south as Kansas but
the weather map indicated some
sections of the winter wheat belt
may have light snow protection.
minneapolis dealers reported they
expected country corn marketings
to be stimulated and traders here
said frozen roads would aid move
ment although colder weather nor
mally increases feeding demand.
A car of No. 2 hard wheat sold
at 90 IL cents in the spot market,
5 IL over the May close and II IL
over the loan rate. The premium
paid for cash grain here and at
other terminals accounted fer
much of the steadiness of futures,
traders said. Hedging sales were
on a small scale with receipts in
the southwest letting up. Most of
the grain brought here went direct
to mills or to dealers for reship-
lnent east.

The Associated Press rail aver
