week and corn traders are
as much at sea as to what the Wall street
bull clique intends doing as they were a
week ago. Last week saw the bull clique
more aggressive and the July price move
up from 101a to 1Sc, fall to I3lac, and
again advance and finish at 17c. gain
of S1sc for the week. The bulls have
all the advantage. The conditions could
not be more favorable il they were made
to order. The wet weather over the en-
tire corn belt has cut down offerings by
farmers so that even the high price las
failed thus far to bring out a large guam
tity of corn. and last weeks arrivals were
only 131 900 bushels.
There were many conditions in the
wheat market last week that made it
favorable to the bull. The most impor-
tant was the weather. 1t was too wet
over the greater part of the Southwest
following the rains Of the previous week.
The trade assumes that after the long
spell of bad weather there is to he q
change for the better. If it fails to come
there will be q loss OF a considerable
proportion Of the crop. So far. there
has been some damage to the quality. but
the loss of quantity has been slight.
What the crop will do from this out de-
pends upon the weather. Harvesting has
been delayed. This. with the caneella-
ton of sales Of new wheat. was the chief
factor in making prices last week.
The cattle market was nominally un-
changed, about two-thirds OF the arrivals
