RAIN FALLS IN NORTH

Chicago, July 25.-Prospects Of lib
eral imports of corn to the United
States from Venezuela gave consider
able impetus today to the downward
swing Of the corn market. Despite
something of a reaction, prices closed
u to y cent net lower. Wheat fin
ished 6 to IL cents down and oats IA
cents off to u cent advance. Provis-
ions gained Is to 80 cents.
1t was the first time in history that
corn prices here had ever been affect
ed by conditions In Venezuela. The
fact that Venezuelars were said to be
about to harvest a big crop. and most
of the surplus was perhaps destined
for shipment soon to the United States
attracted instant attention. Bearish
sentiment also was increased by gen.
eral improvement of crop reports.
Rains where needed on both sides
of the Canadian border gave an ad-
to the bears in wheat. Be-
sides, cutting of spring wheat was said
to have begun already in South Da-
kota. Threshing Of winter wheat was
to be making rapid progress.
Oats sympathized with the weakness
Of corn.
Provisions advanced sharply on act
