QUESTION OF GRADE
How Corner in July Affects State
Wheat Inspection.
THE CORNER BEARS GRADES
Outsiders Who Have Inferior Wheat
| Try to Get 1t Into Good
as-GoId Glass.

Employees Of the state grain inspection
office are on the jump these. days, rein
specting cars of wheat graded No. l
northern. Probably never before in the
hist ory of the office have SO many OF the
cars received been called" by the re-
ceivers for reinspection. The cause OF 1t
all Is the corner in July wheat, which has
carried the July price 10 cents above the
price of September. ..... '-.---s 81 -
The manipulation in July seems not
to have spent it's full force yet and to-
day July spurted to new high figure,
starting higher than yesterday, at ,77asc
and promptly selling up to 80Ac. About
$4,000 bushels changed hands at this top
figure. Eighty cents is a pretty fair price
for wheat, considering all the conditions.
That the grain trade in general believes
there will be about the normal supply
and demand conditions later Is evident
from the fact that while wheat sold on
the cash tables this morning as high as
BIC, one could buy the same grade at
70Ac If he were willing to wait until Sep
tember for the delivery of it. So that the
present price Of July. wheat really
amounts to premium of 10 cents bush
fortunate as to have wheat On the spot
ready for prompt delivery. But it must
be wheat Of the No. northern grade.
h.- ASos = VNoilAA 0SAiScs
The reason such conditions obtain is
that there is not much old crop No. 1
northern left, and the great bulk of that
is in the hands of the corner. These ma
nipulators, are obliged to take everything
offered at the market price, in order to
sustain their position, and prevent
smash in July. This they have done to
date. But they do not propose to take
any more than they have to, and are not
running around looking for wheat: On
the contrary they are insisting that every
bushel. delivered to them shall be the
real thing, and where there is any sus-
picion attached to car, are calling for
its rejection into a grade lower than con-
tract, which precludes delivery of the
car.
Scraping Their Bins.
Elevator men, on the other hand, are
very desirous of giving the 80 cent July
wheat fellows a little wheat, since the
price they have established is attractive.
And this price is doubly attractive be-
cause while No. northern and No. 2
northern are ordinarily about &c apart,
No. northern is now &c over No. 2, much
more than the intrinsic difference in the
two grades.
Hence the elevator men are scraping
around in their bins for little of the
good old No. l.. Where they find wheat
almost up to the full standard, they are
rubbing up the grains carefully, picking
out stones and rusty nails, putting in a
little prime old wheat to give 1t weight
and color, and sending it around to the
inspectors in the hope that it will go
through as No. l.. Much of it has really
shown up we'll on inspection and has
carried the No. northern grade. Still
more OF 1t has graded No. 1 northern at
first but has been appealed, and on close
technical points, been afterward put into
a lower grade.

RAINS AND MORE MANIPULATION
Foreign Markets Quiet-ArSentine
Shipments Running Very
Light.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, July Is
Minneapolis July wheat was the leader TO-
day, and few sharp spurts sold up from
f71sc to s0Ac. This 31sc advance was without
much trading, probably 1000 bu In all chan
gtng hands at SOC or higher. September fol
lowed, but rather stubbornlv. and after ad-
vancing 1a@DMc, stuck and held STEADY
around 701s@70Ac. The grain markets were
all active, nervous and higher, this due pr1n-
apally to liberal covering by shorts, caused
by more rains. Receipts were fair, and cables
showed nothing special, but these things were
ignored anyway. tho wet weather being the
principal influence of the day. In Iowa. Ne
braska and Kansas there were heavy rains
and lighter rains In South Dakota and the
Ohio valley. At 7 a. N. it was raining al
Omaha, Dubuque and Davenport, Chicago, In
dtanapolis and Kansas City. The extreme
northwest was partly cloudy. Harvesting wall
be delayed somewhat by these rains, and
rnarketings of new wheat temporarily cu1
down very favorable statistical item, but
one lost sight of in the domestic crop inter
est, was the report of Argentine shipments
that country sending out last week only "A, ,oo(
bu Of wheat, against 900 bu in the previous
week and 704. 600 bu a year ago.
The trade is still talking of a probable IN:
crease in the visible on Monday, against
decrease last year. Worlds shipments may be
held down "a little by the lighter Argentine
movement. At primary points receipts were
042, 600 bu, against PIE. 900 bu last year, an6
shipments 2410O0, against $4,000 bu. Mime.
apolis had IA cars. against 1919 last year, ane
Duluth 90 against sc. Wheat and -four clear
ances equaled $4,000 bu.
Cables from Liverpool say that Russia ano
Roumania are offering their new crop whea'
in England at prices trag under American
wheat, and are getting some business. The
Modern Miller says the weather OF late has
been favorable, that farmers deliveries are
increasing and that in parts of the winter
wheat area, notably in Missouri, the thresh-
ing returns are showing yields above expecta-
tons.
Bradstreet's figures exports for the week al
BITS, 900 bu, aginst 4.404,0 last week, and
5222 900 a year ago. AT the close the market
was frmer again, September closing at high
point, 7oA @7Oac. July closed at 7s1sc, De-
cember at roc.
Eighty-one cents was paid for cash stun,
some ten cars No. 1 northern going at tnat
figure. Not all the No. 1 brought this, how
ever, and on the sales at the lower time OF
the option prices ranged from soc to 79c.
Some round lots of No sold to arrive at
s06791sc No. 2 held about the same selling
basis relative to September and on several
trades made simultaneously there was diff
ference Of 7c between No. northern and NO.
2 northern, the latter grade showing sales
from 74Ac to 74c, the bulk going at 74Ac:
No wheat sold at 73Ac for the most. and
rejected from 72Ac to roc. No grade wheat
ranged from 727sc to CSC. :.
