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. ,
