WHEAT LOSS IS SLIGHT
DIFFERENCE IN PRICES AT va
RIOUS GRAIN CENTERIs PURE
LIZ FRACTIONAL
SATURDAY SAW ACTIVE DEALS
Corn Fairly Strong, Though Not as
Great n Factor In Trade a1
During the Previous
Week.
SATURDAY SAW ACTIVE DEALS

There has been little change in the price
| of wheat since last week. The difference
| is in the shape Of loss, but 1t Is purely
| fractional, and to the enthusiastic bull
| not all discouraging. Contradictory re-
ports on crop conditions continue to cause
! fluctuations in prices, the Northwest play
! ing perhaps the most important part in
| the effect upon the market, as 1t natural-
! ly should, as the great wheat center. It
must be admitted that there is no longer
! talk Of dollar wheat. Such figures were
| confidently predicted while wheat was
soaring, and reports pictured a. crop fall
ure throughout the Northwest. Now there
Is sober second thought, and there are
few who have any idea that wheat will
reach that figure in the near future The
demand is active, and profit taking steps
in whenever there is real bulge in
prices. These conditions are likely to
prevail indefinitely, or until there is some
radical change In conditions.
CORN AND OATS
The corn market has been moderately
active throughout the week just closed.
The demand has been fairly heavy, and
there Is no sign Of q weakening market
for the coarser grain. Like wheat, corn
has gone through the crop report theory,
advices at times being fully as conflicting
in the coarser grain as IN wheat On the
whole, however, there is nothing to COM
plain of in corn market conditions.
Oats have quietly followed along In the
wake Of corn. There has been at least
the usual demand for oats, and prices are
satisfactory to the dealers.
STOCKS RATHER SLOW.
OF the stock market little can be said
that is new. There have been ups and
downs, especially in some of the railroads,
and at tho close of the week there was
feeling of indifference on the part Of
the public that is by no means new to
stock dealers Professionals have moved
along cautious lines, and deals have been
on a conservative basis. Sugar took a
sudden tumble near the close Saturday,
closing at a loss Of about three points,
after having suddenly jumped up about
as many. 1t was the opinion Of specu-
| lators that the rise in the stock was the
result Of manipulation on the part of
professionals, for the purpose of realiz-
ing profits, which they proceeded to do,
causing the slump in that erratic stock.
Iron and steel stocks show little change
for the week.
