 Fresh reports of injury by drought to the Argentine crop and buying by Northwest ern interests on the theory that the spring wheat crop must deteriorate somewhat be fore harvest time were additional strength ening influences There was quite free prof 1t taking late in the day which caused considerable reaction from the top.

The belt as e whole had generally cloudy to fair weather yesterday and scattered showers at a few points and 8 heavier rain reported at Mobile.
 The Government report giving the acreage and condition of the belt up to June 25 will be issued Friday. The Government condition figures on May 25 were s1 l, and the July report last year was S1.2. A condition around 78 seems to be generally expected. If, however. the report falls below 7s 1t is presumed that there will be a re- newal of the bullish aggressiveness, and that the weather conditions will be an important factor in the destiny of the market.
