GRAIN TRADE GOSSIP.

Whallon, Case g. Co., from New York: The
Armour selling of corn is inducing good deal of
scattered realizing on part of tired small holders
The buying Of July is of good class on this
break. f ..t.$ IA .sss. f. ~.
F. r. Frazier, Chicago, to Charles r. Lewis:
It looks as though Armour had been a pretty
heavy seller of May corn to-day. The indica-
cations are that he sold quite little Saturday.
I believe July is bound to sell over. There is
no demand for corn, either for: interior or e1-
corn is sale. We have had a rather heavy
break in wheat, but at the same time it does
not seem to bring any export business, and Min
year. It does not look as If they were going
to be short of wheat for while. There Is no
receipts of oats, and soon as oats are seeded,
which will be In about two weeks. farmers will
commence to sell, as the scarcity of cars has to
let up in the west, and western shippers are
getting in shape to do business.
