Late Market Quotations
Long Commission Co. Grain Letter.

ing by shorts gave good advance to
wheat early, when heavy profit TAX
ing sales were In evidence by last
weeks buyers. The volume OF trade
was large in the early session but de-
creased towards the noon hour. Sup
port appeared on fair breaks below
Fridays close, but the selling when
ever the market got above that figure
was in such volume as to weaken the
market. Strength in coarse grains
made general traders somewhat
friendly towards wheat Arrivals were
heavy and cash premiums somewhat
lower It Is possible that the marie.
may be- comparatively inactive for a
few days around the present figures.
Corn-Heavy primary receipts,
especially at western and southwest
ern markets had no effect on local
sentiment which was decidedly bull
ish and new high prices were record
ed. Bull lines seem to be intact
which gives the market quick upturns
whenever fresh buying appears. The
cash market did not follow the future
deliveries. Lower grades selling at
very wide discounts. Interior demand
in northern Iowa and Minnesota seem
to have decreased so that surplus
markets must seek other outlets for
their corn.
Oats Oats followed other grains
to great extent. Receipts are not
burdensome and current arrivals sold
in full sympathy with the advance In
the pit. Clearances for the day was
not heavy and were not market fac
tor.
