Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, |
July ia rise in temperatures all over
the northwest and fear of possible not |
winds over Sunday put renewed strength
Into wheat today, carrying September up
from S6Mc to 3s@S81ac and closing II
firm at SSAc. Aberdeen, S. D., had
thermometer showing of 95 in an early
report and this was enough to scare the
trade a little The present weather Is
what the wheat needs, what 1T has got
to have If it is ever going to eaten up
yet this is not entirely unattended by
danger, for too much heat so soon atter
excessive moisture could do world OF
damage Hence the shorts took in their
3 wheat lest it get scorched before Mon
day. Allowing that the weather map is
/, perfect, there are other considerations not
d In favor of the bears. New wheat is sell
hng at fancy prices and the old Is bring
ing big premiums over the new. Inc
moevment cannot be large before Aug. l.
Coburn figures the Kansas crop very
short not over so per cent in eastern
Kansas, where the biggest part of acre
age is Western Missouri about as bad.
Rollin E. Smith wired from Newton, Kan:
"Less than half cut In the wheat belt.
Dead ripe. Scarcely any cutting Ninety
per cent of the crop damaged In grade.
Question Is how much longer grain can
stand"
