Chicago, Aug. 12.-Those who are
bullish on corn said that the present
conditions have nothing to do with
those of twelve and eighteen years ago
when extreme crop losses were sus-
tanned by drought. The country has
made wonderful development and con-
sumption of corn has increased so that
1t is necessary to raise: about 3,0OO,-
000,0O bushels a year to keep prices
within a moderate level, and provide
Tor a fa1r carry-oVer. The trade in
September is decreasing and the new
business is going into December and
May. The. trade is looking for bullish
crop reports the next few days. Senti-
ment in the wheat trade is inclined to
De more conservative although a ma
jority Of the local professionals are
bearish. There is little new in the
situation and for the time being trad
ers are waiting developments in the
northwest as the season Is at hand for
frost scares there. Cash sales were
$4,000 bushels wheat; $4,000 bushels
corn, and 175,000 bushels oats. Sea-
board reported no export business.
