Kansas City, Kan, Aug. 17.-Wheat:
The wheat market this week was not
governed by ordinary considerations
The great telegraphers' strike. coming
, on suddenly, temporarily paralyzed the
the nation. Stocks, in New York, tun1-
bled all to pieces and the panicky con-
tagion naturally spread to Chicaso as
1t always does in such cases. The re-
suit was that wheat broke several
cents bushel when the natural ten
dency was upward. The new Septem-
Der closed today at S51sc, away below
its actual value, ewing to the de-
moralization all along the line This is
about zoe under the price a few months
ago and, If 1t ever was a good purchase,
it certainly is right now. The back
bone of the strike is about broken, and
prices of grain and securities will soon
return to their natural position. Moth
ing whatever can be adduced in the way
OF Bear argument with wheat around
S5c while there are many concrete facts
on the Bull side. The estimate of a
100 million wheat shortage in this coun-
try and over 200 millions in Europe still
remains unchanged and unchallenged
Wheat is being exported to Europe at
the rate of about 100000 bushels week
~, and large amounts are now being
sold for, export daily at New York and
Chicago, over one and a half million in
the past 48 hours. Wheat is now be-
low the normal export basis. The visi-
BILE increase last week only 10000
against an increase of over 100000
year ago. There is some talk now Of
unusual cold weather soon in the ex-
IRENE Northwest. If it materializes,
wheat should take a quick squirt of
several cents bushel The Black Rust
danger is not all over yet and there
are a few fresh reports of it. A much
lighter winter wheat movement is fore
casted for next week. Wheat might
go or 8 cents lower but, on the other
hand, any advances now could easily
carry 1t up 10 or IL cents.
Corn: The corn held up remarkably
well in the face of the big slump in
wheat and stocks. The new September
closed today 54ssc, virtually the same
as a week ago. This Is pretty good
evidence that it is we'll worth the
money, a proposition that these market
letters have been advancing for the past
two months. The new crop will not
greatly exceed two and a half billions,
against nearly billion last year, and
there isn't much of that crop left. There
is an excellent domestic and foreign
demand. Corn and oats show a strong
front nearly every day, with a still
higher tendency. Oats crop may not
reach $40, 100000.
