CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-Wheat-
/ Wheat continued its upward course
after a little easier feeling early, on
account of political news from abroad.
The feature most prominent in higher
prices for future delivery Is the ex
cellent demand for cash wheat and
diminishing receipts, which are run
ming very materially below those OF
last year. Minneapolis is the only
western city showing receipts COM
parable with those of year ago, and
this is true because they are receiv-
ing so much wheat from the south
west and the Pacific coast. The lat
ter is seeking an eastern outlet be-
cause Of scarcity of ocean tonnage
at Pacific ports. The buying today
has been somewhat forced and there
should cause some setback temper
arily. The trade, however, should
not be encouraged to sell wheat short
when world conditions are so bullish.
Corn-There was not the sustained
support to corn today that was ap-
parent yesterday and although new
levels were made on an early advance,
the market gradually worked back I'M
der heavy selling pressure by scat
tered trade. A sale of 100000 bush
els of white corn was reported made
at seaboard for October loading, on
the basis Of eighty-eight half +. o. b.,
Chicago. Export business while not
very large, is well in excess Of last
year or even normal years, and, tax.
en- in connection with the moderate
crop outlook, forms a reasonable
basis for buying corn on good breaks.
Confirmation Of good deal
Of damage to the Saskatchewan crop
by cold weather and the volume OF
export demand, for domestic oats,
tend to hold our markets steady in
the face of increased accumulation.
Patient investors will no doubt,
realize fair profit on purchases
made on easy spots.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Sept 20.-Irish
potatoes may cost $3.50 a bushel this
year, commission men say today. The
modest spud crop this year is fail
ure, they claim. This is the potato
country of the United States. Rails
ers found magnificent tops with no
spuds in the ground when they
started to harvest today.
