CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-The speculative wheat
trade the past week, 4ide from the changing
operations Of hedgers and elevator interests
and liquidation by both shorts and longs In
the nearby option, wa exceedingly narrow
and featureleas.
The range Of prices was confined to mar
row limits, with the tendency lower, The
statistical news OF the week was. in oil,
favorable TO the bears, in spite Of the small
decrease in the visible supply
The worlds wheat shipments a sup
plies IN passage both showed substantial
increases. The decrease in the visible
supply was considered natural in view Of the
falling Oh in wheat recsipts. Stocks Of old
wheat at Minneapolis are decreasing rap
idly, but ara still large and sufficient to Ill
all needs before the new spring wheat begins
TO move in volume. In the Southwest
stocks are expected to accumulate more
rapidly, now that the low rates to the Gulf
AVE been removed. "t."
Although there has been ar immense
amount Of September wheat l~iquidated
by longs, there Is still an enormous holding
to come out. Foreigners are still long
a large quantity Of this option, whicfrthey
will probably pay for, as the deliveries
will be large. September wheat has been
held relatively Arm by h changing OF
short wheat from this option TO December.
Crop news from the Northwest during
the week was an element in impartihg a
slight degree OF strength 70 the market,
claims Of serious damage emanating from
different parts OF the spring wheat country
and predictions OF a short yield being in
~ffuential in inducing some new Investment
buying. The. effect OF these claims was
Offset, however, by reports Of good yields
and a fine quality Of wheat, and the trade
was slow to believe that there was any
prospect OF material injury.
Light stocks Of corn here and continued
comparatively light receipts were the, chief
factors In the corn trade. September
ruled strong, relatively, and shorts were
compelled to liquidate. Crop prospects
have been improved and the condition in
most sections Is the average, due to
the hot forcing westher,
The crop is so far. advanced that it il
believed1t will be out Of danger by Septem-
Der IS. Thu outlook for a bumper crop
OF corn, which ia expected to exceed all
previous yields, has been the factor in
causing the farmers to ease up on their
holdings OF old corn, and offerings from
week, with indications pointing to a con-
tinued heavy movement.
Toward the last Of the week there was
less pressure on oats, which was a decided
contrast TO the recent selling. There was
more support by cash houses and elevator
interests. The trade is recalling the fact
that a year ago Patton and some OF the
other large traders were buying all the oats
they could on the strength OF the export
demand. Prices were 81 to &c. lower than
now, and this year there is practically no
export demand.

by. the st. Paul company and the track
from Harlowton TO Lombard, ninety-fve
