Trading moved along at a rapid clip, particularly during the early sell-off. The possibility that a com promise might be worked out in Korea was the main reason for the selling, but other factors, such as the likelihood of a steel strike, created a pessimistic attitude. Wheat closed lower to higher, corn i-l'i lower, oats Vs y lower, rye unchanged to lower, soybeans unchanged to 1J.4 lower and lard 10 to 20 cents a hundred pounds lower. On the slump, new crop wheat deliveries sold p,t new seasonal lows, which means the lowest points since trading in them start ed. May wheat remained above the Feb. 27 low and this contract was alone in finishing with a gain. France bought to cargoes of wheat, which aided the May contract.
