CHICAGO, July 21-Fresh breaks
in the price of wheat took place today
owing to big increase of the
estimated yield of wheat in Kansas.
The Kansas gain was regarded as
more than offsetting losses by black
rust in the northwest. Besides, Can
ada reported rains over the drought
district. Opening prices, which varied
from to 81. lower, with December,
2.52a2.54 and March. 2.55. were fol-
lowed by a setback to Isl for Decem-

Indications that there would be no
rail strike had a bearish effect on
corn. After opening y to l * down.
including September at 1.4SA. year
and December 1.36 to 1.37. the
market underwent a further sag be-

Oats were weak in sympathy with

There was a sharp break in sugar
futures this morning owing to the
continued weakness in the spot mar
ket and the increasing supplies of
sugar from all quarters. Trade and
commission houses sold with prices
at one time 100 points lower for Au-
gust, or the full maximum decline
permitted in any one days trading.
while other positions were from so
to 80 points lower. Toward midday
there was a recovery of about 10 to
25 points from the lowest. although
the undertone was unsettled.
