ing highly esteemed.

dren.

Chicago, July 31.-Fear that because
Of the war, there would be terrlnc
squeeze today in the deliveries OF July
wheat turned out to be misleading.
Despite the expected mobilization OF
the German army wheat sold of sharp
ly from the outset, starting l y TO ~
down and continuing to fall until the
decline reached 6h after which there
were moderate rallies. The principal
bearish influence was the action OF ex-
porters demanding spot cash before
cargoes would be loaded for Europe,
course which was interpreted by many
to mean that wheat would pile up In
the United States
After the first hour, fluctuations kept
within a range of one cent, and the TO-
tai business was next to north1ng. Inc
close was steady 5x@6hc under last
night. t
Corn like wheat tended downward.
The declines in corn however. were not
equal to those in wheat the market be-
ing sustained to some extent by large
domestic merchandising demand from
the east. Opening prices which varied
from 1c decline to l nc advance were
followed by general fall in some cases
to &C, but with some upturns later.
4 Buying on the part Of shippers caus-
ed ffmness in subsequent dealings.
The close was weak at 81 to &C net
decline.
Oats held comparatively steady. For
the most part declines did not exceed
IN per cent.
Provisions were only traded in mod
erately. There was decided downward
tendency in sympathy with grain.
