Grain Gossip

Thomson, McKinnon & Co. say: Poor buy
ing power shows in the cash markets as
we'll as futures Cash corn closed &c to 91ac
and oats &c TO 4c lower last night. This
condition proves that the best market for
daily receipts is in the pit. In other words,
the cash grain is load on the market.
Rallies will recur, but probably be only tenn
porary.
Provision stocks in Chicago July 10; Pork
new, q, S19 barrels; lard, 80, 1873 900 pounds;
old, 1000; short ribs, IA, 968, 900 pounds; ex-
ira clears, 4,466, 900 pounds.
Chicago Tribune says: 1t was noticeable
the largest cash houses bought July corn and
oats on the break. There was heavy selling
of July oats toward the close by Wagner,
and brokers were absorbing December; re-
suited in narrowing the spreads between the
nearby and distant delivery.
Think December corn a sale every bulge.
Never had any business to sell at 100 as
far can see. When 1t bulges any time
sell it.-Denning.
Cash people in country wire us is less
disposition by holders to sell cash corn now
and no response by farmers to fairly good
bids made last night. Larger shorts have
taken surplus corn out Of the market 1t is
showing better rallying power.-Babcock.
