$1.45 1.45. Oats fiaixhed c off to

clear. Inasmuch as the number of requests
from the country for shipment permits hsd
brosdencd out and In a great majority of
cases had specified corn. other evidence,

amount of old corn was fctlll held 011 farms,
anil now that the new crop had become as
sured was pressing to be disposed of.
Relative strength displayed by oats came
principally from continued export demand.
