CHICAGO. May 25.-Wheat-The
tenor of the news was bullish. Okla
homa received no rain over night and
reports from that state were to the
effect that prospects for a normal
wheat crop is very unlikely Kansas
also sent complaints of drouth wealth
er conditions. This coupled with ad-
vices of liberal export business in do
nestle wheat constituting the influ.
ence which held wheat strong and
higher. Leading holders were free
sellers at the advance, and at mid
day prices showed some reduction
from the top. The principal conten-
ton of the bears is large stocks to be
carried over and proves a barrier to
higher levels. Wheat is moving TO
the markets in large volume, and un,
til this is merchandized, will prove
to operate against values.
Corn-Corn was heavy most of the
dy regardless of the strength in
wheat. Liquidation in the May dc.
livery was the principal cause of the
weakness. The increased storage CAP
city discouraged holders OF cash corn.
Some unfayorable news is being re-
ceived as to the progress of the grow.
ing crop. but these are considered 10
cal.
Although reports from the
southwest are very bullish, no broad
demand for oats and prices held with
in narrow range. Crop prospects
for the most part from the largest
oat country are good. Cash demand
barely equal to the receipts.
