Frogs and toads prefer living food, and the more lively an in sect, the more attractive it is to them.

GRAIN FUTURES HOLD FIRM ON LIGHT BUYING Favorable and Unfavorable News Mixed: Wheat Higher. BY HAROLD E. RAINYVLLE I nited Prfsi Staff C’Arresoondent CHICAGO. Feb. 20.—Wheat opened firm, unchanged to '* cent higher, on the Board of Trade today on scattered buying. Trading was very light and somewhat of an evening-up nature, with the uncertainty of the house action on prohibition today and a holiday ahead. Selling was limited. Liverpool was steady with a good demand and the far east news bullish. Stocks were very uneven, somewhat weak. Corn was unchanged to l B cent higher with wheat, but oats and rye were unquoted at the start. Provisions were dull. Conflicting factors at present are the unfavorable outlook for the winter wheat crop in the southwest, which went without precipitation over the week-end. on the constructive side and nervousness over the constant selling attributed by most traders to the farm board, leading to unsettlement. Liverpool was steady at *s to cent lower at mid-afternoon. During the last week nearly 1.250,000 bushels of corn were booked to arrive, mostly within the next five days. Buying by cash handlers constitutes the major portion of trading in the oats pit. Chicago Primary Receipts —Feb. 18— Corn 705,000.00 Oats 167,000.00 Chicago Futures Range —Feb. 30WHEAT— p rev . High.
