Ihere were further reiterations of lib
nations of the old world Yesterday While
mere was no great. big price lost at
llNerpool, the feeling there was weak at
the declines established
whether Liverpool and continental spec-
ulators were holders of wheat futures or
not, they were sellers in this market Of
noeral quantities of September and De-
ctehlner wheat. Hedging sales of con-
slueraOIe size were in evidence not only
IN TINS market, but in the northwest as
well. IL is said that Chicago will be
opliged 10 take care of a large part OF the
spring wheat crop this year and that this
pressure will lower prices still further.
RESOLUTIONS were passed at the meet
ing In Washington of the foreign ex-
change brokers as well as exporters of
grain, which was called by Secretary Nc
A1oo and which was attended bv Score
tary of Agriculture Houston, Secretary OF
commerce Redfield, members of the fed
era eral reserve board and business men OF
the entire country. II is said by the
wheat traders at Chicago as by millers Of
thls city and those of other points OF the
country that a way will be devised
whereby shipments may be made
The outsider was not In evidence In the
wheat market at Chicago yesterday This
has been the case for several previous
Gays, and there was little in the trade
OUTSIDE OF hedging transactions against t
the actual wheat that was noticeable.
Unless a way is opened for the clearing
OF the wheat already sold to foreign
countries there is likely to be a general
unloading by exporters before another
fortnight rolls around. These sales will
probably mean lower prices
Further recessions were sustained by
corn futures yesterday. More rain in the
oelt, taking In sections of Missouri and
that that territory east Of the Mississippi
river had the effect of dislodging some
OF the long holdings and selling was fur
ness in wheat
Persistent rumors that oats were being
exported from the seaboard offset to a
certain extent the weakness in other pits
and price declines here were not as Sc
we're as in wheat and corn. Trading in
oats was active.
