CHICAGO. July 29.-All grain tend
ed upward in price today, influenced
largely by apprehension that dry
weather might injure the corn crop.
In the wheat pit there was no evil
dence of any renewal of liquidation.
and the market responded to scatter
ed buying orders. Opening prices for
December, e3s to 237. and March,
239h, but most of the advance was
soon lost.
Rallies ensued. but after midday the
wheat market underwent a material
sag. Influenced more or less by bear
ish views of the financial situation.
The close was heavy, 1a1 y net lower.
with December 233A and March
2.36h,
Subsequently absence of corn buy
ing for rural account led to specula-
tive selling and to a decided setback
in values. The close was weak. 1a2M
net lower. with September 1.4O% a

Corn traders gave special attention
to reports that some corn in Illinois
was already damaged by lack of rain
and that moisture must come in the
next few days or the yield would be
much reduced. Official figures showed
that since June ! the rainfall in Illi-
nois had been less than fourth Of
normal After opening ~ to 4 higher.
including September at 1.43k to
1445s. and December 1.25h to 1923
the market scored some additional
upturns.
Oats sympathized with corn. start
ing N to IA higher. September II to
71%, and then continuing to harden.
