Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago-W Wheat: Action TO-DAY was
even surprise to most active bulls.
Many Of them sold out anticipating a
lull in export demand and hope for
lower prices, replaced their holdings,
Buying at opening and reports from
Argentine hot weather cleaned up
floating offers and as the day pro-
gressed, reports of large export bust
ness being done created a heavy wave
of. buying to which the market readily
responded. The new high price natur-
ally instills more confidence into
speculative buying and SO long as the
other side takes the wheat the market
will get support.
Corn--Corn was helped largely by
wheat. There was quite a lot of shori
covering in last hour. No special
news. Farmers are satisfied with price

Herald.

Chicago-The market has taken a
lot Of liquidation OF late and prices
have held well. The local crowd has
been realizing steadily and holds less
wheat than for more than a month,
Some close observers of pit conditions
regard technical situation as much
improved. The short interest has in
creased slightly as the market is
showing more sensitiveness to the
buying. Underlying conditions are
bullish. Corn bulls are watching the
movement of the new crop and believe
there will be enough domestic and ex-
port demand to take care of the offer
ings. The high price, however, is keep
ing many traders off the buying side
and with a small increase in the
movement there is a disposition to sell
futures more freely. Cash markets,
exports Of wheat at present at sea-
board yesterday were 1,250,000, mostly
domestic winters, with some Manito-
ba and inquiries for more late in the
day. The English and Dutch govern
ments were buyers. Chicago sold 50,-
600 corn and $4,000 oats to seaboard.
Domestic sales of wheat were $4,000,
corn $1,000 and oats 100000
