CHICAGO, June u $780,.
futures closed on gains averaging
about a cent Thursday after the
market fluctuated over a fairly
wide range, responding to such con-
flicting influences as expanded
country offerings of cash oats ano
the start of a Senate filibuste1
against OPA extension legislation.
AS n time, about a half hour
before the close, all oats deliveries
except November and December
were at ceilings, with November
and December only IA under maxi
NUNS. But selling entered the mar
ket in heavier volume in the last
Is minutes, driving prices down.
Trading was more active than in
recent sessions.
At the close deferred oats were
5-8-1 1-8 higher, August 81 7-8,
while the July option was unchang-
ed at S8. Corn was bid at $1.46 -
and barley at $1,35 IL. Oats at
Minneapolis advanced to ceilings
while deferred rye contracts at
Winnipeg jumped 5 cents.
An expansion in offerings of cash
oats by the country was the most
significant development in the
grain picture. Purchases for future
delivery were placed at around
500, 900 bushels. Yesterdays pur-
chases we're revised upward to
10000 bushels. The two-day total
was well il excess of purchases
for any similar period in several
months.
Some Of these purchases repre-
sent new crop grain which will not
have to be shipped by country ele-
vators until September 80. Outlook
for the new crop, in which harvest
ing will get under way il the main
belt in about two weeks, is excel
lent. Most of these purchases are
being applied by cash dealers to
forward sales previously made to
eastern interests.
Good rains fell in Western Can
ada, and there also was ONE mois-
ture in the domestic northwest. The
Agriculture department said the
feed situation at Chicago was un-
changed with demand far in excess
of supply. Flour sales in the south
west have tapered off further to
an extremely small volume, the
