but at daybreak the thermometer show

The Chicago Grain Pit was tense with
excitement before the opening today.
For two weeks. brokers have felt that
return of the hot, dry weather would
result in immense damage TO the crop
in the western states. The start of the
hot spell caused an excited furry that
sent prices up from to 3 cents yester-
day Leading houses predicted a rush
to buy corn today that will sweep the
bears off their feet.
The same condition was reported at
Kansas City and to an extent at other
