THE CROP. MARKETS
Wheat, Corn and Coffee Lower
Oats Easy.

An early advance in wheat on bearish
crop news was lost when the heavy re-
ceipts at Northwestern points became a
factor. Total interior receipts Of 2,9l9,Ooo
bushels, as compared with 10000 year
ago, with the visible showing an increase
OF $4,000 bushels, compared with 1884,
600 last year overcame an advance Of sc,
and the market closed at unchanged to
net decline Of l.c. Corn prices started
upward early on weather predictions of
FROST but heavy liquidation wiped out the
advance of haasc, with partial recovery
late in the session. The enormous crop
of oats in sight both In this country and
Canada. and an Increase in the visible
supply OF l.299,O0C bushels, against an in
crease OF $500 last year. made the mar
ket weak in spots and barely steady al
any time.
There was little doing in the coffee mar
kct. and the general situation appeared to
be easier. Damage reports seem 10 have
lost their influence, and there Is appar-
entity no ambition 10 accumulate long
holdings. The cost and freight market Is
about on a parity with the local futures
market. and selling against cost and
freight purchases was possibility which
spectators noted.
