WHEAT
Trading in wheat was only moderate and
the market on the whole was inclined to
weakness, with prices quite erratic. The
early morning news was of q rather doubt
ful character. and opening prices were
about steady, Sept being Il shade to lsfIsc

selling pressure at the start, due partly to
the fact that the receipts at st. Louis were

CORN.
More rains in the corn belt caused weak

fair support at times from local traders
and commission houses. the market failed
TO respond TO any great extent TO this de-
mand The break in wheat also had de-
pressing influence. Taken a whole the
market was not a very big affair. The close
was weak, with Sept. off i.c. at 524c, after
selling between 52isc and 522. G527sc. Local
receipts were 16l cars, with Is of contract

OATS.
Oats for July delivery failed to produce
any excitement in the pit. the squeeze which
had been in progress some time having ap-
parently been abandoned. and the price OF
that commodity dropped lll2c in the course
of the day, closing at 33i2c. Other months
