Grains End Strong After Timid Start Chicago, Feb. 28 UP) Grains overcame a little early timidity today and ended with a fair show of strength. Eoth wheat and corn had gains running to more than a cent while soybeans jumped as much as 2 cents.

Buying in wheat followed news the Commodity Credit corporation had purchased more than 7,000,000 bushels of cash grain last week end. largest for a two day period since before the price drop earlier this month. Corn was aided by a continued good demand for the cash grain, as well as by low temperatures accompanied by moderate winds in most of the mid-west. This weather might dry out some corn which, otherwise would be moved to market before April 1, traders said. Grain men pointed out that corn with 20 per cent moisture can now be placed under the government loan, but beginning 'April 1 it will have to hold only 17 per cent moisture or less.

Cold weather could dry out some grain and make it available for the loan, traders said. Wheat closed -l higher, corn was lower to 1 higher, oats were unchanged to higher, rye was 2 -2 higher, soybeans were yA-2V, higher and lard was 7 to 27 cents a hundred pounds.
