THE CROP MARKETS
Wheat Gains Strength-Corn and
Oats Steady-Coffee Quiet.

Under favorable growing and harvesting
weather over practically the entire coun-
try, wheat prices declined hqsso early, but
trade sentiment appeared to lean toward
the bull side Of the market, as the recent
declines are thought to have discounted
part OF the improvement in the crop situa-
ton and the conditions abroad are at
tracing attention as a bull feature. The
carly drop was soon followed by rally
the loss was regaIned, and the market
closed at net advance Of 2sq5so. Corn
under covering on the evident belief that
the market had been oversold. was steady
all day and finished 9sIJ7sc up from
Wednesdays close. oats were firm here
and at the interior cash markets, closing
practically unchanged.
The most conspicuous feature OF trading
in coffee was buying by houses with Euro
pean connections, and the buIlish senti-
ment abroad evidenced by this buying had
stimulating effect here. The market held
steady all day, and although business was
small prices advanced to a gain Of to 6
points for futures with the spot market
unchanged.
