NOON LETTER

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Effect Of the
Aug. 8 wheat report had quickly
faded. Near 40 as usual the wheat
bulls desert the market and bears
step in. December wheat sold at
1.2lA Aug. 5 and 1.29 today. Stock
market news easy. Wheat export
demand on the wheat bulge poor.
Weekly U. S. corn report suggests
Improvement in many sections. U.
S. Aug. 9 oats report failed to rally
oats.
Winnipeg cash wheat premiums
&c to &C lower. We believe wheat
purchase around today's low
points for a turn, but corn and oats
promise to remain a bulge sale.
