BUYING ORDERS HOLD FUTURES TRADE STEADY Nearby Corn Options Move Up: Deferred Months Unchanged. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Prf* Staff Correnf>ondent CHICAGO, April 8. Wheal opened around steady in a small trade on the Board of Trade today with nothing new developing overnight to change the complexion of the grain situation. Liverpool was dull and about steady. A scattering of buying orders raised the nearby corn futures and the deferred montlis did not move. The undertone was firm. Oats held steady in a very quiet trade. At the opening wheat was % cent lower to % cent higher with May unchanged, com was unchanged to U cent higher, and oats were unchanged. Provisions were slow and easy. 1 iverpool Is Lower Liverpool was a fraction low, as expected, and at mid-afternoon held a Vi to l i cent loss. Buenos Aires started \ cent higher. Considerable long wheat came out late Tuesday, which disturbed holdovers and sent prices to the lowest of the day, from which there was little or no recovery. Technical rallies are all that the trade looks for unless the unexpected happens. Weakness in cotton and stocks were contributing factors Tuesday, Tie southwest is selling here in good volume on the prospects of a large crop. Com Options Bearish Com was as bearish as wheat at the close. The farmers are busy in the fields, due to the good weather which will restrict hauling and reduce terminal receipts. Navigation on the lakes opened officially Tuesday, w'hich may boost cash sales. The market has been setting aside the fundamentals and following wheat. Adverse sentiment in grains found expression in oats Tuesday in the last few minutes of trading, and old May went to the lowest of the season, and the lowest since 1906. As in corn, the fundamentals are being overlooked. Chicago Grain Table —April 8 — WHEAT— Prey. High. Low 11:00. close.

April B.—A burst of early strength on the Stock Exchange today was followed by further irregularity and reduction in volume of operations. Around noon the list was slowly coming back from a drop from the early highs. Tickers were almost idle. The early spurt received impetus from more optimistic steel news Steel production was down from the previous week, but the Iron Age expressed belief that the peak had not been reached for this time of year. Steel rose toward the 137 mark, against a previous close of 135%. dipped again and around noon rallied to the high of the session. An adverse piece of news was the car loading figure for the week ended March 28. This total broke the rising record of the two previous weeks and helped bring selling into the railroad issues where New York Central made anew low for the year at 105%, oc % point.
