WHEAT LOSES AN

Corn and Oats Gain in

Seasons Record.

Crop news from the Argentine continues
to be the dominant factor in the wheat
market it's force being exerted indirectly
through its influence on foreign markets
and the question as to how far Argentine
prices will influence European buying of
American wheat. A sharp advance in
Liverpool was reflected by a gain here

conditions reported the market sagSed

a sharp drop, which left last prices net
