Chicago, Aug 24-WHEAT-A dull
affair with prices sagging between
S9i4 and 80 cents for the September
option Trade was narrow and con-
fined almost wholly to the professional
element. The news was more or less
bullish, but traders as a rule preferred
to even up contracts over Sunday. The
same crop damage stories from the
northwest were in evidence, but they
lacked buying orders to have any bene-
fetal effect upon the market Reports
from the southwest continue bullish.
too much rain being detrimental to
the threshing of the crop. The market
closed lifeless at about yesterdays
figures.
CORN-New high records established
for ali of the active futures. Crop
damage stories are circulated profuse-
ly. Some of them emanating from
Iowa and Illinois. but the principal
ones came from the original crop
killers. Kansas Hot winds and lack
of moisture in that section of the coun-
try were the bullish factors which
caused the advance.
OATS-Sensation bad crop reports
from the northwest combined with a

We're the largest buyers. They have
been so successful throughout the
year in both corn and oats that they
have acquired large following. Six
ty cents is freely predicted for the
September option. No doubt there is
short crop of oats. but the pres
ent prices have discounted almost a
total failure. The market closed
strong, maintaining almost the entire
advance.
