! CHICAGO, Aug. -Wheat-Wel
directed efforts on the Canadian auth
critics to depress wheat prices early
had a temporary effect on our market
which by midday. had recovered an
early loss and was selling little
above last nights close. Reports by
dependable people in the Canadian
northwest indicate that damage Is
just as severe in some sections as in
our own northwest. Samples received
from the Dakotas confirm damage
which has been reported, the wheat
being too badly shriveled to grade.
Omaha reported improved exports ins
quiries and foreigners are said to be
buying the wheat today in Winnipeg.
Breaks are likely to be only temper
airy, and very much higher prices are
indicated.
Corn-An improved demand for
cash corn and buying Of futures by
the leading bull interests caused a
complete recovery from an early
break. Cash handlers reported that
the seaboard was in the market for
moderate quantities. Crop reports are
mixed, the more favored sections
showing some improvement from re-
cent rains, but the southwest claimed
damage beyond repair from heat and
drought Very low prices for corn. I'M
der present conditions may hardly be
expected.
Oats-Were helped early by pur-
chases of cash interests. Hedging
pressure and a general feeling OF bear
ishness on the part of brokers had the
market in check. Export sales are
limited by shortage OF cars. On
breaks from present levels, oats have
much merit as an investment.
