ment became bearish and prices quickly
declined The change in sentiment was
due chiefly to a report from Kansas city
which claimed that thet latest estimate
of the wheat crop in Kansas placed the
yield at 9O0OO,0OO bushels, an amount
greatly in excess of any previous crop
On the decline prices reached a new low
record mark for the season. Late In the
session the market rallied and almost all
of the loss was regained The late de-
mand came largely from shorts. Septem-
Der opened hd9sc TO Is@ssc higher at 7l1ac
