age, the wheat market today showed a
tendency to sag Foreign crop reports,

in particular asserting the outlook to be
good. The fact that demand here was
unusually light had also considerable
effect toward increasing the bearish senti-
ment. Opening figures were 1saA to q
lower: September started at S91a to S9ss,
a decline of haA to 14ass. rallied to s9a4
and fell to son.
Corn prices weakened on account of the
wetting down of the larger producing
states over night. Besides cables re-
ported European offers more free and
consumption disappointing. September
opened asa1a to maA off at 63 to 63A, but
reacted to 63as.
Cash houses were liberal sellers Of oats.
Accordingly the market kept depressed
September started IS down at 40, touched

Although steady at the outset provisions
gradually became easy with hogs. First
