ing for all Oldsmobile cars pro-
duced after January l is announced

contracts Of corn, which rose more
than 2 cents a bushel at times to

general price advance in the grain
pits today.
At one time May wheat and oat
deliveries also established new highs
since 1887, the former selling up to

f1ected further mill buying and prog

chases, with Nation wide sales esti-
mated possibly as high as 1000 900
barrels the first three days of the
week. This would be equivalent to
more than 5000, 900 bushels of wheat.
