The leading bull houses took it in al every half point drop until near the close the bottom was reached. The reaction was swift The closing tone was con sidered strong. There was an abate- ment of crop damage reports from the northwest and Canada.
 Rains in Iowa and Illinois led heavy selling of corn by commission houses and to a lesser extent by local bears Offerings dried up on the decline and when wheat rallied corn followed sharply Spot prices were F 10 lc leTer.
