Late Market Quotations

longs tired out with the long pro-
tracted decline and from local traders
who covered promptly on each new
show Of strength. Millers and ship
pers were after wheat (cash) which
is the o hopeful sign for bulls.
Crop reports are ~unfavorable. A good
class of Investment buying was no
ticeable in the July.
Corn-Corn followed the advance in
wheat and was also helped by a bull
ish cable from Argentine, estimating
the exportable surplus of that .coun-
try at only sixty million bushels. Re-
ceipts were not heavy and the demand
for cash corn was sufficient to hold
the market steady and in some cases
higher. There will probably be a
good sized movement of corr for sew
eral weeks longer, which will have q
tendency to check sharp bulges in the
market.
Oats-Oats advanced with other
grains because Of a better export in
quiry of late. Reports are confirmed Of
large country holdings Of oats, both in
the United States and Canada and this
situation will operate against a bull
market.
