EARLY DROP IN
WHEAT ERASED
BY RAISE LATER

Chicago, Aug. lit took but lit
tie buying today to hoist values in
the wheat market. At first, scat
tered selling on the part Of COM
mission houses led to brief set
back. Absence, however, Of any
important fresh liquidation made
bears cautious, and sentiment de-
veloped that bottom prices had been
reached for at least the time being.
Initial quotations, which ranged
from IS to 5hc lower, with Decem-
Der 2.061z to EOS, and March EOS
to 2.0Sk, were followed by rally
to we'll above Saturdays finish.
Later, some improvement in spec
ulative demand was evident, but
owing to a fair amount of hedging
the extreme gains in price were
not held. There was an unsettled
close, 11ac to 27sc> higher, with
December at 2.1311 and March at
2.15.
Dry weather, likely to bring about
crop damage, had bullish effect
on corn, despite downward trend
at the outset in sympathy with
wheat. After starting unchanged to
1Bc off, including September at
1881 to 1.34A and December at
1.19b to 1908, the market scored
decided general advance.
Subsequently, good deal Of sell
ing resulted from bearish crop es-
Inmates, but the effect failed to
last. The market closed strong
23sc to 3hc net higher, with Sep
TENDER at 1.37h to 137B and De
cember at 1.22% to 1.22B.
Oats were governed by corn
opening hc to &c lower with Sep
TENDER 671ac to 675sc, and Their
switching to the upgrade.
Provisions lacked support. Sell
ing, though, was not aggressive.

PLANS ON RAISING
DISTRICT LEVEE

Petitions for making permanent
improvements in the Bay Island
drainage district levee are being
prepared and are expected to be
filed shortly. Property owners in
the drainage district are consider
ing asking congressional aid in
making the Improvements which
will include raising the retaining
wall along the river front about
four feet. The annual levy for
maintenance was recently in
creased from $1.70 to $500 per
