news for the first time In weeks was plentiful
But all else was lost sight of in the Government
figures on the condition of spring wheat They
showed decline of 81 points in the condi-
ton suggesting a crop of 235. 0o0o00 bushels.
This would indicate a decrease of 100000
bushels a shortage too great TO be overlooked
even in the present apathetic condition of
trading. Too add to the strength of the situa-
tion reports from the Northwest told of
serious and widespread damage done by yes

marked falling off Gables, however, were

upon by a majority of the older traders as
sufficient consderinr the news and consid-
erable selling forward under which Septem-
ber slowly declined to 69A. Offerings all
absorbed so quickly, in fact, that although a
period of dullness followed the decline to

cover shortly after noon. Then 1t developed
that the market heavily oversold. Offer
ings were scarce. In the next half hour the
buying developed into regular scramble

Before the demand had been satisfied Septem-
her had advanced to 71h. Realizing sent 1t
down to 70]AG70ss. The market closed strong
at 70%.
Corn was weak early on the Government re-
port which indicated an exceptionally large
crop. The big advance in wheat caused a
rally in corn. September closed q higher
Oats exceptionally dull but firm. but
prices following narrowly tie course of wheat.
September closed shade higher.
Provisions early were slow and rather easy,
small declines taking place during the morn
ing trading. Hog prices were lower and pack
ing interests were sellers. The market turned
firm in the afternoon with the advance in
wheat and under good general buying the de-
clines were recovered and small advances
scored There was a good demand for lard,
but cash business was as rule slow. At the

that brewers have worked into and used up
