THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

GRAIN MARKET HOLDS FIRM IN LIGHT TRADING Future Prices About Steady, Despite Reaction in Foreign Deals. B't United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 25.—Grains held about steady on the Board of Trade at the start today despite moderate reactions at foreign markets. The report of farm board export sales made the trade uncertain and light with most opfrators fearing to pi ess the market. The decline of Tuesday eliminated much forced selling and put the market in a good technical position. Liverpool was dull and declining owing to cheap Canadian offers and lack of demand. Corn was nearly steady, largely in line with wheat and lack of pressing. Oats were not as steady as the other grains. Liverpool Loiver At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent higher; • corn was unchanged to % cent lower, and oats were unchanged to )i cent off. Provisions were slow and steady, Liverpool was lower than expected and down Vs to 1 cent at mid-after-noon. Buenos Aires was off % cent early. The rumors that the farm board is making sales of wheat abroad, while unconfirmed, have become a factor in the world wheat situation. One Chicago house has received cablegrams indicating that such is the case, but the farm board makes light of the report and intimates that a statement concerning the rumor jvill be out in several days. Rains over the belt were the weakening factor Tuesday, but weather generally was fair overnight and the forecast was for clear and cold. Cash Market Even Farm work in the United States is rapidly extending northward due to the unusual temperatures. It is said that some oats will be sown next week, nearly one month ahead of the normal season. Many farmers have already prepared their gi and for crops. Corn trade is in an era of fluctuations depending upon the cash market and the action of wheat. Holders of March oats continue to dispose of them as the first delivery day nears. This with the action in other grains undermines the confidence in prices for the time being. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 25.
