CHICAGO QUOTATIONS

livery by the large local millers, and they
viii want this to grind before the next
crop is ready for use. 1t is stated that
Chicago has bought fully 100000 bu of
this wheat, which will leave the contract
stocks here much lighter than the trade
has been figuring on. If this wheat that
is shipped TO Chicago will grade contract
on arrival, there is but little doubt but
that the anxious shorts down there will
be up here after more of 1t. 1t is a rather
wicked market whichever way you look
at it, and the local July market is likely
to prove much more so to the short seller
when delivery day comes around.
The future of the market at the present
time is in the hands of the weather man,
as far as the deferred futures are con-
cerned. Complaints are becoming more
pronounced from all sections of the win
ter wheat belt in regard to the lack Of
rain and the lack of warmth to insure a
good growing plant. Wheat cannot grow
10 any extent with the cold weather we
have had during the past two weeks, and
especially where there Is a lack OF mois-
ture.

Washington D. C.-Winter wheat con-
tinues in promising condition. All plant
ing is very excessive in Ohio valley and
middle Atlantic states. Very slow prog
ress was made with spring wheat seeding
over the northern portion of the spring
wheat region. Early sowing of spring
wheat does not appear to have sustained
injury from recent cold except in Ne
braska, where some fields are slightly
damaged.
Liverpool--Wheat-Th better weather
in western America caused opening de-
clines of I'D with a further loss of lsd
in May and July later. A better demand
for milling and fewer Argentine offers
caused an improved tone towards noon,
with recovery of sd In July. Corn
Affected by the declines in American mar
kets yesterday. opening prices were lsd
lower and were followed by further de-
clines of sd later. However, this latter
loss was recovered as the result of a
large spot trade and firm Argentine Of
fers.
