day in the wheat trade. Business how
ever. continued to be very limited in
volume. Opening prices which ranged
from cent decline to We advance

ed further upturn in values, The
close was unsettled &c to &c net high.
err with July at $2.3s and September at
5000.
Favorable weather led to free selling
Of corn and to a sharp decline in prices
The break was checked by an official
forecast indicating renewal of low tenn
perature and unwelcome rains. Opening
NC to 21bc lower. the market steadied
at moderate reaction from the lowest
level touched at the outset.
Later the market scored decided
gains as a result OF fears that the
crop condition In July would be rela-
lively low. and that the acreage would
be smaller than had been expected. The
close was nervous at an advance of nc
to cents net.
Oats sagged with corn. Buying pow
err was limited except at decline.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
provisions. Selling. though. was not OF
an aggressive character.
