Saturday, and sold off on the expectation
of rain. closing from unchanged to cent
under Saturdays closing prices.
Showers were reported through Kansas
at Iolanthe and Newton. and at few points
in Nebraska, Fremont and Lincoln. Mo-
where were they heavy. The trade chose
to believe them an indication of an APP
preaching break. The pit wanted the bad
news. The Texas rain was deemed fore
runner of more. Corn operators were in
fiuenced by the statement from Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson doubling the sensa-
tionaI corn loss. Expert Russell telegraphed
from Concordia that corn was standing the
weather trials better than anything else.
Government weather officials reported high
temperatures throughout the corn belt, and
no hope OF general or copious rainfall in the
near future.
