Market Report Shows Steady Demand and Weather Boost
Demand from local scalpers was noted while shipping houses offered moderately and the market reflected a cautious tone. Cold weather in the West likely aids corn grading as oats see light trading.

Grain strength near the close supported provisions and overall product gains.
