CHICAGO, July 27.-Heavy margin
calls resulting from yesterdays smash
! in values led to continued liquidation
| today by holders Of grain. Wheat
prices were also bearishly affected
dicating that crop damage in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota would be very
slight, not to exceed probably 10 per
! cent. Opening quotations which
ranged from ~ to 8 lower for
wheat, with December 2.40 to 2.43
lies to an average Of about cents
under yesterdays finish.
Corn, like wheat, had no support
except from shorts who were in po
sition to collect profits. After open
ing y to 2h lower; with September
the market rallied a little, but then
sagged further than before.
Oats sympathized with the weakness
of corn The market opened y off to
q up. including September at 70k to
Il. and then underwent material set
backs.
Some strength developed in provi-
sions after moderate declines at the
outset. Packers were said to have
been buyers.
