Chicago, Aug. 22.-Steadiness of the
wheat market yesterday won a few
more friends The Herald thinks there
has been an increase of outside buy

the large trade in oats and says re-
ceivers expect oats receipts to decline
literally. Stock yards people report
no profit in feeding S5c corn to cattle
at present cattle prices. On the re
cent break of 10 cents in wheat flour
mills did not cut their price and they

due to the peculiar market. Up to 8
p. m. yesterday. there were rains In
Missouri. Kansas, Indiana and Ohio,
with temperatures OF 75 to "a. mainly
seasonable. The big strong oats mar
ket is helping corn during this rainy
spell. Northwest miller reports wheat
export rates from New York to Eng
land are Is cents per bushel. There
is more gossip to the effect that Can
ada will import United States oats.
Export wheat and flour clearances for
week at 100000 are excellent. Oats
and wheat promise bulges. While corn
is not due to make new high points.
there are plenty willing to buy on dips
for turns. The highest wheat prices
evidently lie ahead. Oats news and
gossip cover United States consump-
ton, big corn needs and belief in a
much smaller crop than the govern
ment has estimated.

TODAY'S MARKET QUOTATIONS

1920 periods.
Present wheat prices are not strain

and a two-month greatly lessened

wise attention to wheat. The 1914
oats crop about equals the 1,121'OOO'-

imports the U. S. consumed 1,1s5.OoO.-
600 oats for 1894 season. vast
consumption.
The hay crop is guessed at $4,000
600 tons which is a high average
amount. Primary oats receipts each
wear equal 21O.OOO.0OO. If we export
20. 200. 900 for war purposes, our ter
minals will be eased TO extent of 10 per
cent. War influences count in oats
and the purchasing side is preferred.
Corn promise is probably lowered to
20 per cent and crop may be 2.625,oOO'-
600 to 2.675. 100000.
Corn made its highs around Aug 8,
with December IL 7-S and May 7412.
Further reduction OF the promise mas
failed to bring new highs. Market is
regarded as two-sided with a chance
to recede. Corn damage markets while
usually a bulge sale in August and
September often maintain much resili-
ence. Timely purchases indicated but
do not overlook the present corn lev
els.
Provisions continue under influences
OF war and small hog and cattle sup
plies. Chicago stocks are fairly large
but stocks at other points are much
too small for this time of year. Pos
sibility of heavy live stock losses in
the war zone counts as a long distance
factor. Recent low points should mean
sound purchasing levels.
Wheat declines and rallies swiftly.
Investors see the large number OF very
bullish chances ahead. We advise an
ticipation in the matter of placing pur-
chasing orders as the market immedi-
ately breaks away from low points.
