NJ MARKET IN WHEAT is
SOMEWHAT NARROWER
Favorable Threshing Returns Are Offset by Ru-
mors of Rust in Nor hwest-Alarm
Among Corn Shorts

New York, July 90.-Domestic wheat
markets wero feverish and unsettled
early in the week. There was for n
timc an undertone OF weakness caused
by the rate at which new wheat is
moving TO market. Weather In winter
wheat territory has been dry and hot,
and farmers have been making liberal
deliveries TO country stations; this has
resulted in fairly active hedge" sell
ing. 1t was alleged that farmers had
been compelled TO accept lower bids
because of the stringcncy In the money
market. many banks refusing to ad-
vance money on customary terms.
Selling was also prompted partly by
better weather i'm the Northwest. where
IL was comparatively cool for the sea
son. with moderate rainfall. There
were rumors of rust damage in the
northwest, but these reports had only
slight influence Gable adviccs were
without particular influence. although
rather more nrmness prevailed in Euro
rean markets. owing To the decrease
in the European visible supply This
was S.206,0o0 bushels Worlds shin
ments were light, which led to n big
reduction In the quantity on passage.
The protractcd rains in Western E.u-
rope have delayed harvesting there.
This was already from eight TO ten
Gays late, and the further delay has
doubtless had n great deal to do with
the active export buying here. Large

Interest Chiefly In Corn.
Speculative interest has been largely
diverted to corn. which has attracted

which was partly ascribed to additional

vague as TO create much skcpticism.
