Chamber of Commences.

Wheat opened easier, and Ac lower IMAM IL
closed Saturday. The buyers were less act
i've than OH the previous day, and values
were slow TO recover, though later all In
crease in orders carried the market up leo
Sac. There was little enthusiasm, however,
and most of the gain was lost by ~ o clock.
Transactions were not up to the late business
in futures. The weather was fine for ripen-
ing grain, and that made some difference
with the buying desire. Crop reports were
very plentiful, and figuring from them. diff
ferent sections promise from half-crop to
full crop. Many fields i'll the North are ready
for cutting, while others are yet green, and
would be helped by good weather this week.
Rains in the middle corn belt tended 10

days closing wheat quotations.: No. hard,
August, 96I2c; on track, 9Sc. No. north
