Withdrawal OF export demand
and indecision as to Argentine super
tax have induced moderate liquidation of
wheat holdings by those who have been
credited with believing in higher prices.
Cessation OF foreign demand has left the
market without important support as
the investing public is still aPathetic, In
the event OF imposition of substantial
super on Argentine exports the In
itial influence by the Argentine govern
ment will permit the foreign buyer to
know just what price he Is paying for
wheat and may therefore turn the for
eign demand away from this country.
Rains are reported in Australia and
BroOmhalls repeats a reduction in the
exportable surplus. Conditions In
India are not good Offerings of
wheat from the Southwest are light. but
at the same time there is no strength In
the export bids for gulf shipment. Mil
ing trade shows little improvement, ac-
cording to Minneapolis advices. 1t Is
quite evident from the character of the
trade and the action Of the market fnat
some stimulus other than a spasmodic
foreign demand Is necessary II prices are
to rule higher.
Corn-In the face of weakness in wheat
and liberal receipts from the country,
corn has held its own so far as can be
seen the buying power In this market
comes from previous sellers. Moderate
export business ia doing each day but
in the minds OF the trade this Is not a
factor In prices. Offerings from the
country have fallen off, but there is be
heved TO be enough in transit and loaded
to maintain the present volume Of re-
-ceipts for some time We expect this
market to meet rather influential selling
whenever strength appears.
Oats-Foreign inquiry is said to exist
in the oats market, hut there Is no evil
dence Of any buying from that source
or of business closed. There is at no
time any investment demand in the mar
~ket appearances Of strength to be tenn
pOrary.
PrOvisions-Packtng interests have
been sellers Of ribs, offerings being taken
by those who consider the market on q
value basis. There is no effort whatever
to advance prices.
