Predictions Of Frost Cause Up
ward Movement in Active
Grains.

There was n good speculative interest in
both wheat and corn yesterday mainly be
cause Of predictions of frost in the North
ern and Northwestern States. Feeling was
decidedly bullish in the first half OF the
session, but later the initial gains IN wheat
were entirely wiped cut. and corn cased of
from the top figures. Receipts of wheat
were again on the increase and buying was
mainly by spectators. The nGt result of
the days trading was an unchanged mar
ket.
The Modern Miller, in its weekly outlook,
said:
Farmers are preparing their land for the
seeding of the next wInter-wheat crop. and
conditions generally are favorable. except
in some few sections where the ground IS
too dry. ana others where too wet. Every
thing indicates that u large acreage VIII
be sown. wheat in the stack IS being
thrashed, ard this work viii be general
after fail blowing is finished. Another
large movement Of wheat to market IS
then probable. The quality and condition OF
the grain thrashed from the stack Is gen
orally fine"
Sept. wheat opened at:
64+c, csc, GfIsc. Gi4c. Dec. sold at sac, Csc,
643sgOJc, 6c. Csc, Coo. May sold at CSC.
Corn opened easy, but later advanced on
prospects of colder weather IN Iowa and
other Northern States in the belt. predic-
lions of frost were the bull card. Later
reports Of rains in Nebraska and western
States caused a slight decline, but the mar
ket was strong at the close.
