The wheat market has been weak and lower
during the past week, owing to fine weather,
lack OF foreign demand and selling by foreign
houses In this market. This latter fact proves
conclusvely our assertion that the SO called
demand which was used to push prices up
last month was purely invention. Prices in
Europe are going lower every day, but not as
rapidly as they went up. Wheat at anything
over a dollar in America is good price, July
wheat is holding up very well about Is cents
higher than September, with very small trade
in it, conditions do not warrant this great
difference at this time unless there is to be
squeeze il, the July option. Our opinion is that
prices of wheat will gradually settle lower by
the time the poor farmer has to sell his crop,
after which we will have another boom.
Corn.-There was large business in corn
and the market was firm for time, but later
weakened off with wheat. receipts were heavy,
some prominent bulls tried to hold up the
prices but had to give way to the large offer
ings. Shipments are heavy, and exports good
and crop reports favorable to large crop.
Oats.-There was not much done in oats as
traders were interested in other pits, where
opportunities were better, cash trade very
quiet, crop reports good.
Provisions-There was lively trade in the
provision market, prices advance early, but
later having big drop. 1t is admitted that
the big packers are bullish but the prices are
now SO high that much advance is not proba
