CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The wheat market was
inclined to be weak at the start today. open
ing quotations being unchanged to %QAc
lower. The influences that created this bearish
sentiment were lower cables and weather con-
ditions in the spring wheat country The rain
predicted for last night for Minnesota and the
Dakotas failed to materialize except IN por-
items Of Minnesota, and reports received today
indicate that although harvesting had been
somewhat delayed across the international
boundary line by wet weather, the new crop
in the Canadian provinces would be ready Tor
market at an early date. Toward the end OF
the first hour the market became firm owing
to buying of September by shorts and cash
interests, the latter taking he nearby delivery
and selling December. This resulted in a mar
ewing of the premium on December to only
NC above September and caused September to
advance from 93Mc to 9bc. Sentiment became
bearish again late in the day and prices yielded
to fairly liberal profit taking by local holders.
The weakness was partly due to the poor de-
mand for cash wheat. With the exception Of
few bids for December wheat and for hard
winter wheat for August loading, there was
no export demand today and no cash sales were
ieported. The market closed easy with prices
Ad%c higher to h9xc lower.
Small receipts and an excellent demand for
the cash grain caused strength in the corn
market. The close was firm A@Ssc above yes
