CHICAGO, Oct. 2o-R-Reports
of oats export business and heavy
government whe a t purchases
brought about a rally in grain fu-
lures today. Wheat, oats and rye
regained a cent or more Of their
recent losses at times, although
most Of the best advances were
shaded slightly near the finish.
1t was reported that Belgium
would purchase 10000 tons, or
about 1,400, 900 bushels of domestic
oats in the open market during
the next two months, and addi-
tional purchases were expected
early next year. This firmed oats,
and there also was a lack Of t e
hedging pressure which has been
in the pit in recent sessions.
Government purchases of wheat
yesterday were reported at about
1000, 900 bushels, including $780,
900 or more in the northwest. This
followed comparative lull
Thursday and encouraged traders.
