D. c., for week ended Aug. J.. 1921.
GRAIN: Trading for the week was
within narrow limits except for bulge
on the 9th, which was of short life.
! The unusually heavy receipts of wheat
have been chief bearish influence.
Lack of public buying was another
bearish factor. Export sales have
been fairly large and have acted as
chief bullish factor. Corn prices have
largely followed wheat. Cash mar
kets for both wheat and corn have had
weak undertone. Visible wheat sup
ply placed at 24,658. 900 BIZ, an in
crease for the week of 5,421, 900 bu.
Visible supply of corn placed at a.
$4,000 bu., a decrease of 4,3O8, 900 bu
