Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Aug. 16. = Wheat
Wheat market was very active in
comparatively narrow range. Pres
sure came mostly from realizing
sales and on the dips, there was buy
ing credited to seaboard account. The
government weekly weather and crop
report confirmed previous claims OF
damage in the northwest, estimating
it from so to 50 per cent. M1llers
were buyers of wheat, both here ana
in the northwest. Figures issued To-
day by the government show the
movement of wheat for last year was
all in excess of the previous two
wears. and that considerably more
was moved into market channels IN
each of the three previous years than
will be raised in 1915. The sltua-
ton on both sides of the internalon-
al line loses none of its bulllshness.
f,orn-Corn was irregular, being
sharply higher on buying credited 10
eastern interests and local bulls, and
Later declining on pressure from
local bears and country spectators.
The Illinois weather and crop as
serts that damage has not been as
severe as expected from heat and
drouth. but estimates the total loss
at % per cent These figures are
regarded as bullish and had much to
do with a midday rally. Cash corn
is in fair demand. but eastern buy
ers are afraid of the railroad situa-
ton and are taking only such offers
as are ready for immediate shipment.
Oats-Good export business Is the
feature in oats. The movement is
heavy and cars are not available to
move the grain to the seaboard as
fast as it is comino to primary mar
kets. Some accumulation is, there
for. occurring and bulges above
these levels will be difficult to hold.
