Future Grain and provisions


CHICAGO, Aug. 23-Wheat was subjected to
general selling pressure all day, and ex-
tremely heavy tone prevailed. Selling at the
opening was inspired chiefly by declines in the
rope, due partly to heavy shipments from Russia
but later the unusually liberal movement in this
country, particularly in the northwest, was the
principal weakening influence. Predictions were
MADE that the arrivals at Minneapolis and Du-
iuth would soon average 1000 day. Dur
ing the day September sold between 97Ac and
S99sc' while December ranged between 94A and
9314c.> The market closed with prices only a
trifie above the low mark, September being at
0S1sc and December at 94ssc

banking institution in this country makes the
statement that the eastern banks will not be
called upon to finance the phenomenal crop of
the current year; hence, for the first time in our
history, the commercial current has been reversed
and consequently high rates for money usual at
this time of the year will most probably be
averted. This condition will undoubtedly have
steadying influence on the general market and
may be depended upon as potent force in bring
