GRAIN TRADE GOSSIP

Chicago to Watson: A very short time ago
July wheat was away over September; to-day
it is over 1c discount, the reason, no demand.
This Is the underlying fact for weakness in
wheat, demand.
Following from Comstock, who has charge of
Bartlett's Omaha office: 81 rode out twenty
miles in country yesterday. Have never seen
corn looking SO ragged and unpromising this time
of year. Are needing rain over a large area
of the corn belt. Oats promise good. Wheat
harvest progressing favorably."
ST. Louis wired: Charles valier,. who oper-
ates mill at Marine, ILL.,, says wheat is yielding
three to twelve bushels. The latter extreme and
that is good sown wheat country.
Chicago to Lewis: The selling OF wheat by J..
Fl. Wrenn did as much as anything else to breuk
the market. The crowd had suspicion 1t was
for northwest account, but are getting over their
scare now that northwestern markets are very
steady, while ours are breaking. There was
good demand for wheat around 7s1ac. The crowd
think Armour is buying wheat on this break.
Valentine has been selling wheat openly for sew
eral days.
Winnipeg. clear and fine. 20 above Grand

a. H. Farnum says: Men who have elevators
in the three states, and who are best able to
judge practically agree that the yield will be
less and possibly good deal lie, less than last year
fact. This coupled with the winter wheat stu
alton makes me think wheat low enough. For
eigners have bought very sparingly lately and
look to Sc them buyers on a good scale when
moves.
