the fine crop Of spring wheat that has
generally favored the operation since
cutting began. Chicago received 121

neapolis and Duluth reported 1927 car

under the influence OF such informa-

$4,000 bushels a year ago. TheElear-

Duluth were SO much lower again to-
day as to give an air Of sincerity to
the statements about the probability
of heavily increased receipts in the
near future. Spring wheat was espec-
tally weak in the market for carloads
and that together with reduction in
the premium bid for wheat for ship
ment had much to do with the weak
nses that developed in the trading for
futures. September opened unchanged

6512c, recovered tef 65A @657sc, fell off

fair demand from scalpers at the de-
cline, but as the session advanced the
general trade fell off in volume, and
the market CLOSED at the low point for
the day. September started 1sc down,
at S11s 031Agc, ranged from 31Ac
down to SO1af and closed at the latter
figure.

to 2O1sc, DECLINED to 1890, and left off
at 1924 @197sc asked. The execution
Of some heAvy transactions in lard fer
export strengthened the whole pro-
vision market. Early there was some
liquidation and a dip in prices, but
that less was all recovered and some
thing more. September pork opened

advanced to SO 1919, and closed at
So 10. September lard began 5 cents
