BILE quotations had a bullish influence to-
day on wheat but the effect was soon
nearly offset by an unexpected increase
of the United States visible supply today.
Purchasing here was not of an impressive
character, being mostly in small lots. Buy

Euro cans could bring about a more
thorough organization of shipping facili-
ties and thus regardless of the question of

of supplies elsewhere than in North Amer
lea. Opening prices, which ranged &c to
&c higher with December at S1-53A to
$1.5415 and September at $1.55 to $1.56.
were followed by a reaction and then a
slight rally.
Announcement of large export led to
strong close-1c to 1Ac net higher-with
December at $1.54 and May at 81 .5515.
CORN-Corn weakened as a result of
general rains. The September option, how
