Corn Movement Does Not Show Increase Grain and provision letter by wire from Chicago office of Thomson & McKinnon, brokers, says: Corn —The action of corn prices today was not the result of anything new but simply an enforced recognition of the inadequate movement from the country and the consequent strength in the cash market. The Strength in cash comes solely from light receipts, not from anew demand. So far as deferred deliveries are concerned we believe today has seen a material easing of the tension in that shorts have covered freely and holders have realized in a considerable way. The reserves on the farm, however, together with a glowing down of feeding demand by the growtii of pasturage suggest that the deferred deliveries have fully discounted tbeone item of slow distribution. “Oats—More interest has been displayed in oats in sympathy with corn and under the stimulus of high prices for cash oats in western markets as well as in the east. Seeding Is progressing rapidly and it is believed the area win be materially increased. So long as country receipts remt ’n at 8 to 10 cents over the May, so long as the country is a relucant seller tae market will show firmness, but we believe the level of represents all that is Justified by Ehe present eanta situation.
