Cereals

Wheat-The movement of new winter
wheat Is increasing in the Southwest and.
out Of the total interior movement for the
day. St Louis reported $4,000 bushels
and Kansas 23S.000. The weather was
again favorable for harvesting operations
and, while 1t was said that good deal of
low grade wheat Is being disclosed by
harvesting operations there Is every evil
dence that there will be an abundance of
good wheat for all purposes
Advices from Winnipeg indicated the
probability OF open trading in wheat being
resumed there next week. Some local
unfavorable results in the event OF prices
being out OF line with the American gov
eminent basis as high levels would have
a disconcerting influence on the American
markets. while loyer prices might inter
fere with the export movement.
Corn.-Price changes in corn were very
te'trlsh ana Irregular At one time the
inarket showed gains OF 1c to 2Ac from
were sub1ec, to quick declines, and at the
close July was down 2 i2c from Thursdays
1nal, while September was unchanged and
December was l &c higher.
and 1t was evident that when corn
reached tho q mark buyers backed away
to have more than discounted the bullsh
features in tho situation.
Crop and weather advices were very ia
vorabe and the advance in December
was thought TO be duo to covering and
undoing OF spreads beween that position
ana September
Argentine offers were scarce. owing to
a lack OF available tonnage, and 1t was
thought that after the Argentine corn now
hfoat TO the United States arrives 1t Will
be il long period before more can be cx-
pcctcd.
