TO IA A@1Ssc. Corn and oats. after displaying
considerable strength, closed steady Pro-
visions were firm all day.
Prices in wheat were inclined TO sag. More
favorable weather conditions for the crop,
as indicated from private and official sources,
formed the basis of the selling pressure, which
centered on the September delivery. The market
opened weak with prices y "a &c TO 1 cent below
the close on Thursday, the slump being due
mainly to reports of rain in Illinois and Kansas.
Fresh reports of damage by drought tended TO re-
strain sellers. September ranged between

S1.0Sla and May between S1.1312 and $1.14.
The market closed at almost the bottom, with
September at $1.O5B @1.o5s.. Final figures on
July were SLOTS and May s1.13%.

The Lumber Trade

The Pioneer Western Lumberman says: 1t
is most difficult to sell lumber at this writing.
No matter what price high or low, is quoted the
buyers are standing from under. 1t is hard to
say why this condition exists Building seems TO
be good all over the coast; general business con-
ditions are not at all bad in some certain ocali-
ties, while they are excellent in others, and
the prevailing tone throughout the west can
truthfully be estimated at good to better. The
weather in the buying communities is normal
for this season of the year. that climatic
Influences cut no figure except in the manufac-
turing centers where logging operations have
been at a dead standstill for almost four
months. This latter condition should strengthen
the market, for there is certain to be scarcity
in the next 80 days.
1.-The export trade is the only branch of the
lumber business which is anywhere holding
its own The demand is healthy. with the
mills In possession of orders sufficient to keep
them busy for 80 days at least, which is a
godsend to the export plants. Quotations show
but little change and 1t is most unlikely If any
will occur in the first half of the current year.
