Corn was strong and moderately active
There was a demand for it reported by
the cash people, but speculative trade

seller, thus giving support in a practical
way TO reports of good rains in that
section of the country. There were
other reports, however, which asserted
that the DakotaS and neighbOring terri
tory could stand much more moisture
than has been received this season. The
Missouri condition was reported off 6
points. which was a minor help, but the
corn strength furnished the main sup
port Shorts bought because of the
firmness In the neighboring pit, while
there was small demand from outsiders
evidently under the belief that the North
west situation Is serious. July opened
