GRAIN REVIEW

| Chicago, Aug 23.-Belief that most
+, OF the standing crop was out OF danger
| from drought together with reports OF
abundant yields gave corn prices a
| downward trend at the opening. Fair
support developed on the break, how
| ever and the early decline was recover
ed. The trading was very featureless
and the variations We're within mar
row range. Opening prices ranged from
shade to "a c lower with December at
s1.07A to s1.0sh and May at, S1.06A
to $1.O615. The rallies carried prices to
about yesterdays closing figures.
Buying sentiment developed later
/. which with strength exhibited In the
cash market led to advances which
carried prices well away from the
opening figures. Shorts seeking to
cover contributed to the upturn. The
! close was strong 4 to 1c net higher.
with December at sl.09ls to s1.09A and
May at $1.067s to s107.
Wheat trading was negligible this
morning The first trade was at $2.06
for September. the closing point yes
terday. Later that option was bought at
1905 the trading being confined to
evening up transactions preparatory to
cessation Of all deals in the September
option.
Scattered trading in wheat continued
working away from the low point. The
close was steady and one cent higher,
final figures for September being $2.01.
Scattered buying of oats started that
grain unchanged to a shade higher.
Subsequent fluctuations were within
narrow limits.
