Daily Exchange Letter.
Favorable weather and lower cables
caused weakness in wheat here, com
mission houses and pit traders being
liberal sellers.
Toward the noon hour sentiment be-
came extremely bullish as a result of
advices from the northwest regarding
damage by rust. According to latest
reports the wheat crop of the Dakotas
and Minnesota will be greatly reduced
| from the original estimates. In addi'
| ton to active covering by shorts wheat
was in urgent demand from all quar-.
tiers. Offerings were light, and in con
sequence prices rose rapidly. The ex
citement continued throughout the re-
mainder of the session, the market
closing practically at the top.
Partly in sympathy with the break
in wheat and partly under the in
fiuence of lower cables and favorable
crop advices, the corn market dis
played a weak undertOne.
Influenced by the strength Of wheat
the corn market became strong.
Profit taking in oats caused some
weakness in that market. The good
grade of oats coming in and the lack
of demand for the cash article, with
/ the weakness of other grains, were the
| bear factors.
In spite of a firm hog market provi
sions were barely steady. The almost
total absence of trading was the de
pressing influence. September pork
was off 21h at 1880. Lard was down
shade to 21a at 6.S71a to 6.S71A@6.9O
Ribs were a shade lower at 1900
1924.
