CHICAGO GRAIN CHICAGO, April 24 (UP) Rye led a strong close in grain futures on the board of trade to day with gains of around three cents. Talk of a rye export pro gram and strength on the Cana dian exchange influenced the bullish tone. Wheat closed strong, spurred on by tight cash wheat markets and restricted mill supplies. Rye finished the day up 2'a to 3'g cents a bushel; wheat was up 1 'A to l's; corn up 114 to IV4; oats up 1 to 2 and barley quoted unchanged to up IV4. Milling interests acted on both sides of the wheat market in brisk trade. Buying by elevator interests and the local trade also aided the upturn.
