2ba7Isc. December wheat started &c
below yesterdays last price ut 79%c'
The predicted freer movement of wheat
toward primary western markets, more
especIally in the northwest, was being
realized to some extent. While to-days
receipts were still much smaller than
those Of last year. they showed
steady Increase. Chicago got l57 cars,
compared with 1913 the yer before, and
minneapolis and Duluth reported go
cars, A bearIsh telegram came from
Winnipeg declaring that Manitoba and
other British northwestern provinces
would show n crop OF 50000,OOO bushels
OF fine wheat. There was no export bus-
Iness here, and longs showed ten
dency to let go OF their holdings in the
absence OF encouraging news, IN,
speculative business was small ana
traders generally inclined to await the
result of to-mOrrOw's deliveries on Sep
tenber contracts. December sold from
72Hc down 20 7lHc, with lnfrequent
rallies. and closed dun mt the bottom.
Corn tamcly followed the wheat mar
ket, despite the encouraging news re.
gardlng the shipping demands. Local
TcceIpts were 6gl cars, and the nggre-
gate OF primary western market re-
ceIpts was $4,000 bushels. December
opgned unchanged at 2SE sold down to
2gibc and then finished at 2Sesc. sep,
ternbcr Opened Ac Off ut 3Oac, ana
closed nt 3O7Sc.
There was little business In the oats
market exclusive Of exchanging. Trade
was light In volume and although Sep
tember at times showed some strength
II wnF largely because Of the nearness
OF that month. The December option
was cnsy. In sympathy with Its sister
market. December opened unchanged
nj igN,e, sold between 1880 and 1875,
and closed at the opening figure. Sep
tcmbcr finished with &c net loss.
The provision market followed IN ten
dcncy the market for the live hogs
Hog prices at the yards were i0c to zoe
lower. and hog receipts FOR the day
were $4,000 head. This, with the weak
