Outside Of little furry in the July
option, which sent shorts to cover in
the West, there was the almost daily
reduction in the prices Of wheat fut-

removing the appearance Of hrmness
which had marked the early trading.
The close showed net declines for the
day Of "a sc, with July at pre-
MUM of 3sc over September. Seere-
tary Coburn, of the Kansas State De-
partment of Agriculture, reported the
condition of winter wheat 10 be 9S per
cent. compared with 81 per cent last
year, and placed the crop at 100000 900
bushels. Corn was weakened by the
covering movement of Saturday and
lost IA &c net. The Kansas report
made the condition 93.S per cent, com
pared with So per cent last year Oats
followed corn and lost lsG1 1sc for the
day.
