loss was subsequently, regained on COW
'ering by shorts. At the close prices

The wheat market was weak the
greater part of the day owing to the
general selling. prompted by the con-
the Northwest for the harvesting and
moving of the new crop. The move

Is gaining daily and with good wealth
Iuth will soon reach considerable pro-
portions. Reports from the spring
wheat country were again Of tho moss
optimistic character as regards the
said to be progressing rapidly.
Several of the leading holders were
free sellers during the first half of
the day. particularly of the September
ferings became much more meager.
Talk of soRe wheat having been sold
for export induced considerable COW
ering which resulted in a rally Of about
! cent In all deliveries. The market
closed fairly steady.
Growing belief that the corn crop of
the Southwest is being seriously In
tured By drouth inspired lively buying
OF corn which resulted in a strong
rally following slump early in the

dry weather. Local receipts were .

Oats were extremely weak early in
the day owing TO. general selling based
or favorable harvesting weather but
became much steadier late in the ses-
sion In sympathy with the firmer feel
ing In wheat and corn. Cash inter-
ests were the principal sellers during
the day. Prices at the close were .
shade lower to la cent higher.
Provisions were inclined to be weak
all day owing to selling brought out
by more liberal receipts of live hogs
at Western packing centers. Trade
was only moderate. At the close
