Tracers bought early, an licipating an expansion in com mercial buying later in the week, but were inclined to lighten hold ings when the advance ran into resistance. .. . Speculative interest centered in the rye pit, where gains of about a cent were recorded at one time. Most of th upturn was held to the close. A department of agriculture 1 report showed stocks of rye in all positions on January 1 of 47,209,- 000 bushels, but gave no compar ison with the previous year. Trading in oats and barley was ; small and without feature. At the close wheat was unchanged to lower, May $1.71-. oats were up Vk to 4, May 80- The new subsidy to millers goes into effect tomorrow and grain men expect very heavy flour busi ness will develop. The department of agriculture reported stocks of wheat in all positions including Canadian bonded grain, totaled 843,096,000 bushels on January 1. ' .'
