pool and Antwerp weakened wheat

With a slump at Liverpool and fav-
orable weather, wheat started at a de-
cline September, which closed yes
terday at 67Ac, opened at from IS to
65sc and settled to 645sc before all
the early offerings could be absorbed
July started at Nc decline. the first
sale being at Toe, and before it did bet
ter it sold another 1c lower, selling at
69c. A demand for small quantity
of July soon divulged how little was
for sale upon the appearance of any
legitimate demand. From 69c there
was animmediate jump to 71Ac. The
trading sentiment WIS bearish and
every one seemed to be on the selling
side. About the only demand was
from shorts who had satisfactory
profit and bought in on the decline to
secure 1t. The export inquiry was
aroused to greater activity by the de-
cline in prices. New York reported
a considerable quantity sold to the
contirent. This caused a slight rally
near the close, but partly failed in
effect on account Of decline in Ant
werp of 2@5hc bushel on reported
enormous yields throughout the con-
tinent.

pared with l40 year ago. The con-
trast between this and last years ar

The heaviness OF wheat was felt in
the corn pit and hada tendency to de-
press the latter. Generous rains fell
in various sections but the weather
was very dry and, hot in some i'm
pcrtant regions of the corn growing
country. The general sentiment was
bearish and indications OF unloading
by a prominent long started the entire
fraternity in smaller proceeding. On
the break the country west of the Mis-
scuri did some buying and there was
a slight rally. September opened nc
lower at 34A @34asc, firmed up to SAC,
declined to 33Hc, then rose to SAC ask
ed at the close.

ate demand for the cash article. Later
