week showing an increase of more than
100000 bushels, the local market yes

taken to reflect what was regarded as
the general bullish sentiment OF the
country. Weather conditions, includ-
ing copious rain over the corn belt,
raised hopes Of an increase in the yield
over the government estimate and sent
the local market down net 2s03Ac

cred this decline, but in the late trad
ing there was another break and the
close was at B@2&c net below Satur-
days finals. Oats lost hCd zc net for
the day, mainly in sympathy with corn.

GENERAL MARKET REPORT.
New York. August 10 1914.
GRAIN

WHEAT-The market was again unsettled
ard feyerish, but prices advanced 10 new
high records with continued evidences OF
buying by the outside public and Wall
street. The situation is one OF uncertainty
and trade interests are still puzzled as TO
the outcome. Great Britain and Belgium
have expressed willingness 10 assume war
risks on shipments OF wheat. and II Is eX-
pected that the British government will ex-
ert every EFFORT to protect shipments from
America. SO far. however local bankers
have not been willing To buy exchange on
London except in limited quantities, ana
local shippers are consequently deprived Of
funds and are not in position to make
shipments. Foreign buyers refuse to cancel
contracts and exporters In America at pres
cnt are neither able 10 cancel their con
tracts with Europe nor ship the wheat. MI
n.erous meetings in the export trade We're
held on sunday and yesterday TO devise
means OF untangling the situation but with
little result and IL was decided TO employ
n lawyer with experience In international
affairs TO help stTaighten matters out IN
