SPIRITED BUYING BOLSTERS GRAINS Corn and Wheat Close Higher —Oats Unchanged, By United Financial CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—Wheat and corn closed higher, oats practically unchanged on the Board of Trade today. Spirited buying featured wheat trading and caused a higher cose. Ex porters have cleaned up all Manitobas number three at Eastern seaboard, buying of which was in anticipation of increase in import duties on Canadian wheat. Such an increase would enhance values of this grain. Higher foreign markets and export of additional parcels to the United Kingdom created good local corn support and was responsive for advances. Stocks at English ports are low and the United States will have to come in to stippiy immediate wants until Argentine new crop is available. Oats lagged, failing to reflect the full strength in other grains. Provisions closed dull. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 9 WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low Close. close.

By United Financial NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Despite the heaviest offerings of new bonds during the week of any similar period since last June, the listed bond market not only held its own, but ruled generally higher for the week save for some profit-taking at the finish of the*week which caused minor recessions ip some of the rails and industrials today. Foreign loans enjoyed an excellent demand all week. Japanese bonds firmed up in anticipation of the offering of $250,900,000 Japanese bonds, in New York, London and Amsterdam next Wednesday. The American offering will probably be $150,000,000 in due in thirty to thirty-three years at prices to yield about 7.10 per cent. The French and British bonds did little more than back and fill during the week, but the Jugo-Slav Bs, the P. L. and M. bonds and the Prague 7Vis were Very firm. South American bonds were visibly improved by the news that the $26,000,000 in Argentine notes have been placed privately.
