Chicago, July 25.--Wheat: Has dis
played considerable weakness today
losing. ss c to nc from last nights fig
ures and closing with little or no re-
\ action on the decline" Further gooC
export sales have been made but ex.
porters are very reticent and quanti-
| ties are not being made public. Lack
of outside interest and all growing
bearish sentiment on the part of pro-
fessionals have proven discouragins
even for the bulls and many of these
| have become tired out and sold their
holdings. The weakness in coarse
grains also helped to intensity bearish
sentiment and it is a difficult matter
to And believer in the possibility of
| higher prices for wheat. In spite of
the array of bearish facts we believe
wheat is selling at dangerously low
prices and any change In the situation
must of necessity favor holders. 'Pur-
chases are therefore suggested
Corn: A weather map, showing
predictions and possibility Of showers
in the west and southwest caused fur
ther heavy selling on part of leading
local professionals and a large local
elevator concern. all of whom sold
corn in large quantities. A resultant
decline of 1 cent per bushel was ex-
perienced. commission houses absorb
ing the offerings on the scale down,
Corn is a weather market. and If rain
is experienced tonight. a lower level
may be expected. Everything depends
upon the weather.
Oats: Lots u to q for the day,
largely in sympathy with the decline
in corn and the very sick cash market.
The east is entirely out of the market
and there Is not enough demand to
take care of the small current arrivals
except at good concessions. AS re-
suit pressure on the September comes
in evidence for the cash houses. We
expect to see a decline in oats to a
point where a revival In cash demand
is experienced and favor awaiting such
break on which purchases are
strongly urged.
