Southwest, which have done great dam
age to all crops. All options opened up
from IL to IL cents higher. and the
opening was practically the low point.
A slight reaction was caused by profit
taking. During the afternoon the bull
fsh sentiment became more pronounced,
and all offerings were readily absorbed by
the Southwest. The close was near the
top prices and the market was a great
big bull affair.
Corn-This was even stronger than
wheat The primary receipts were over
1000, 600 bushels. July closed 2A cents
up and September , cents. The market
is very strong.
Oats-The close was about &c above
Friday. Oats have been bulled hereto
fore on poor crop outlook and this was
the only reason they did not advance
today as much as corn and wheat. The
situation is a strong one.
