Chicago opening prices, % to 1% lower, May (new) 1.66 to 1.66% and July 148 to 1481, were | followed by material upturns. Rapld absorption of speculative offerings in the corn market led to | higher prices both for corn and oats initial decline. The Bast was said to be after cash corn f shipment at the opening of naviga tion and later. Opening % to % lower, May 78 to 7814, the corn market advanced to well above ves terday’s finish p Oats started % to 3 off. Mayv 417 to 41%. Later all months showed some gain.
