ForYdurC Grain Pit Market Dull "Wheat Sluggish, v : Oats, Barley Inactive,! Rye Up By WILLIAM FERRIS . CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-P)-Wheat moved within a e r y narrow range in a slow trade today. In dicating the extreme dullness of the market, the range between the high and low prices on May and December contracts was only cent while on July and Sep tember : It, was H cent. - - Oats ; and barley also showed little activity. There was fairly good commission house buying of rye at one time, that gram ad vancing more than a cent before encountering resistance. But, in the last hour proifit-taking : en tered the pit and cancelled the earlier upturn. 1 f i; . At the close wheat was unchan ged to H lower, May $1.72, oats were unchanged to higher, May 78 tt. . For the time being commercial buying of wheat appears to have dropped off, traders said, and the trade is disposed to wait and see if more cash wheat comes to mar ket. Producers in the southwest were reported as redeeming their government loan wheat and sell ing it to elevator interests. Although mills were not active in the wheat pit, j trade reports said flour, sales had boomed. The Northwestern Miller, a trade pub lication, said, "Purchases by large bakery chains and smaller buy ers are flooding the millers. Amity Entertained AMITY Mr. and ; Mrs. W. H.
