and the opening was rather tame at I6g
price being as cents. There was perhaps
disappointment over the government crop
report, when was not so bull1Sh as eX-
pected, but this was offset by the cOntin-
ued hot weather and showers in the
northwest, conditions regarded as ex-
tremely unfaVOTable, but another factor
made itself felt soon after the opening, a
sudden decline in corn A drop of l3s
was recorded in that market at one time

belief that the government crop report
would show big falling off in condition,
and even after this liquidation ceased the
market showed but little sings of reeOv-
cry. The September price was hammer
ed down to 751sc before the selling pres
sure was revived. There was notable
country selling at times and stop orders
were received by some commission firms
The close was heavy at 1874.
Corn was feYerish and radically weak.
The crop report was a painful surprise 10

oats were dull for the most part and
showed weakness. September closed 1se
