CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-(P)-A fur
ry OF short covering in the final
half hour of trading strengthened
grain futures markets today and
most closing prices were new highs
for the day.
All markets had been steady to
firm from the start but price
changes were limited to about
half a cent until the late trade
when offerings became scarce and
shorts tried to even up
Dealings were light and most
traders showed a tendency to re-
main close to shore during the
weekend which may bring irnpor-
tant war developments in Europe.
Some of the strength of wheat
was attributed to short covering in
anticipation of senate action to
increase parity prices for basic
crops. Cash markets were firm
and receipts light, limiting the
selling pressure to the hard spots.
