buying also on expectations Of a good
sized decrease In the visible. The
northwest and southwest were buyers
but there many favorable crop reports
and Wichita. Kan, was asking for bids
on No. 2 hard this week shipment.
More or less realizing took place but
as stocks continue to decrease which
leads up to fears Of congestion in tho
July kind, bearish sentiment is not
quite SO unanimous. 1t looks to us as
II good scalping market would pre-
sent itself and we think there Is
enough in the situation to warrant
purchases on fair sized down turns.
CORN-Liverpool noted more SELL
ing pressure on cargoes and as the
weather was favorable with car lots
here over the estimate 1t created bear
ish sentiment locally with some SELL
ing by cash houses, but the buying
was good character with local opcr-
ators in the lead. The Patten house
sold considerable July and Septem-
Der but their offerings were well
taken and much to everybody's surprise
the September kind went to a prem
ium over the July, Patten brokers
selling July most all of the day. There
was good buying Of May by a wealthy
local operator and commission houses
generally took on May, September and
December. There were lot of I'M
favorable reports but prices are high
and 1t looks to us as If purchases
could be made lower down.
OATS-There was buying Of Sept
ember early that looked as If 1t was
for investment with shorts covering
in all the futures, commission houses
generally being on the buying side
There were many unfavorable reports
from central Illinois accompanied with
buying orders, but many local opera
tors realized profits. We would favor
purchases only on sharp dips.
Women whose minds are fixed on
their rights like to go across the

the exercise affords.
