i Thm OZZGON CTATECMAIL Satan, v Oregon, Friday Morning. January 21. 1S44 PAGE FOURTEEN Short Covering Builds Grains Feed Shortage Boosts Market; . .Wheat, Rye Gain - By WILLIAM FERRIS CHICAGO. Jan. 20.-3)-A abort-covering; movement based upon reports of government buy lng of cash wheat and the contin ued drought in the midwest pro vided a strong undertone to grain market today. Offerings in all nits were lieht and both wheat and rye scored gains of more than a cent. The market drew support from a bureau of agricultural -econom ics statement that the supply of feed grains per unit of livestock is less than in any year since the drought in the early 1930s. How ever, the bureau expected in creased imports and said 15,000,- 000 tons of wheat would be fed to livestock in the 1943-44 crop sea son. At one time wheat and rye were up nearly 2 cents, but profit-taking shaved extreme gains. At the close wheat was 1 higher, May $1.704., oats were up -4, May 78, rye was ahead May $1.29-1.30, and barley was i 1 higher. May $1.22.
