Cassidy G. Gray's Market Letter.

WHEAT-Liverpool did not fully
respond to declines here Argentine
shipments were considerably under the
estimate, spring wheat receipts were
small, and there were no rains in KAN
sas or Nebraska. Offerings were light.
commission houses had buying orders
and shorts covered very freely in all
the futures being induced thereto by
unfaVorable crop reports on winter
wheat, sent in bv experts and others
and originating in western Kansas and
Nebraska. A disposition was shown
to work on the long side, although
the cash demand was very small but
seaboard clearances were light, that
will be reflected in worlds shipments.

suggested some sort of a squeeze and

that further advances may material

resumption of selling operations.
CORN-A better cash inquiry was
noted, Pekin, ILL.,, made sales east at
66Rc, the best nrice so far. primary
receipts We're very light and contrary
offerings small. Argentine crop news
cut no figure and there was fairly
good commission house buying that we

PROVISlONS-Th cash trade was
only fair and the futures were moder-
ately sold by the packers but there
was fair demand for ribs. It was
the impression in the pit that the
short interest has been considerably
reduced. especially in pork which
closed rather weak and had it not
been for strength in grain, would no
doubt have worked lower
