WHEAT-The week closed with no changes
worthy OF comment. Chicago was 1ac lower,
sentiment is rampant in Wheat The principal
reasons for the lower prices are the weaker
foreign markets, enormous shipments from
Argentina md heavy receipts ut Northwestern
markets. Minneapolis and Duluth arrivals Fri
day 42l. cars against 294 year ago.
This, too despite the fact that North Dakota.
with the largest crop Of ail, had failed to get
anything through to the terminal markets. All
bullish developments were taken Mt discount
OF entirely ignored Atlantic seab board exporters
claimed that there was some reseiiing by for
ever, that Russia was buying Wheat at Ham
burg enc exporters were buyins freely at Kan
This market stands unchanged. with futures
neglected and the cash grain firmly held but
quiet. Milling grades continue to get scarcer.
