Wheat Futures-The late Vienna report of
still weakening document, when used in
connection with easier cables that came this
morning There was some strength given by
the wet weather in the Northwest that
promises to hurt the quality and to delay the
movement of spring wheat The swift rise
lately, and the extent of it, set longs in most
general markets to realizing. and it was
feared that the tide having set in toward
lower prices, it might develop severe break.
Trading in wheat futures was slower,
the deal was working out Beerbohm
quoted wheat rather easier in Liverpool,
with London prices unchanged: weather in
England fine; French country markets
steady. The opening was about 81 .O2 for
September and the market later sold down
to $1.OlAc. Sellers began asking $1.0512
for December. but accepted lower figures
that fell to Sl.OaA before the noon hour.
Following are to.day's closing wheat quo
September, $1.OO7s; December. S1.O3Ia; on
track $1.O6@1.OS; No. 2 northern-Aug-
ust, ST. on track, $1.O2@1 o. New wheat
on track quoted: No. l hard, $1.0S0l .O9;
97@9sc.
Many sellers Of cash wheat complained of
the slow demand for samples. Others who
offered their wheat at a decline equal to the
decline in futures thought the demand fair.
hard fell more than northern according to
report of several with some TO sell. Millers
claimed prices were yet too stiff. and while
they bought some wheat they skirmfshed
considerably for the best possible bargains.
The receipts for the day were 12O cars, but
the inspection made in the last twenty-four
hours showed only 45 cars new wheat. Con-
siderable delay i'll the movement of new is
expected, caused by wet weather and conse-
quent delay in threshing in the fields. The
decline in prices was due to general lower
values in all places. Considerable demand
still exists for wheat to ship.
