Grain Markets Unsettled Over U.SJLastWeek WASHINGTON, May 16 (Special) Domestic cash grain markets were unsettled during the week ending May 13. Futures were mostly weak and slightly lower but cosh grains held about steady, under the lnflu- jehce of light offerings, according to (the weekly grain market review of me u. o, oureau oi agricultural economics. Favorable conditions for spring seeding, slow export demand for the . relatively large remaining stocks and - low securities markets weriBf the principal weakening lnflu-; ences In wheat futures. While In creased acreage of feed grains and generally favorable prospects for the new crops were the dominant factors In the corn, oats and barley markets. With the exception of barley and flax, increased premiums for cash grains as a result of light offerings, about off set the declines in futures. Barley declined sharply with decreased de- mtind and favorable crop- prospects, while flax continued its downward trend and closed 2 to 3c per bushel lower than a week ago. , Winter wheat made generally favor able ptogress during the week, with Cisco In bags at $1.30.
