Contributed to Rise in Wheat
at Chicago.

CHICAGO July 22.-Opinions that
Europe would require larger imports
than was expected had a bullish effect
today on the wheat market here. Ad-
vices from England, France and Italy
all reported, an unpromising harvest
outlook. However, highly favorable
conditions for the development of the
domestic spring crop and for threshinS
and moving the winter crop acted at
first as a weight on prices.
The opening. which varied from the
same as last night to 5s down. was
followed by little further decline and
then material advance all around.
Corn Market Hardens.
Good shipping demand from.the east
tended to harden the corn market Be
sides. country offerings were scarce
After opening shade off to Is higher
the market scored a moderate general
upturn.
Oats were relatively easy. There was
some pressure felt from hedging.
Declining prices for hogs weakened
provisions. About the only support was
from shorts.
