at yesterday. Such scarcity Of wheat
for this months delivery with ten
days left to bring it from the coun-
try, gave the September shorts a dis
agreeable shock. They lost confidence
in immediate lower prices and bought
as possible under the disadvantage Of
very small offerings. September which
opened at from 68Ac to 6S1sc, sold
sparingly at Csc and then rose to 6SKc
before it reacted. After dropping back
from 6SBc to 6Sas @681sc, it got Sec
Ond infection from the action in July,
which rose to S014c and September on
that advance to 69@69Bc. December
was less bullish and did not get above

The closing quotation from Paris
showed July wheat there extremely
heavy. the reduction in price being
equal to 6Ac bushel and September
December was down the equivalent of

side and the Dearish features of the
early news began to receive recogni-
tiol. AS a result September lost NO

cember declined to 671ac, loss of hc.
Chicago receipts were IS cars Or 80
less than expected Minneapolis got
81 cars and Duluth not any, whereas
the two places together got 1886 last

The total receipts at western pri-
mary markets were AL 600 bushels.

Showers where they were needed
badly and the failure of the predicted
frost in northern sections caused heav-
mess to be the rule for corn. The
downward tendency was accelerated by
enormous receipts. Shippers were
without workable bids and the bulls
were content to await another dry
weather scare before adding to pre-

The decline in corn and lower prices
