Grain, Although market uncertain
the first part of week and partly af
fected by local conditions, prices
worked higher until the 5th, when
liquidation by prominent long accounts
and slower export demand caused de-
cline. On the 18th much needed rains in
favorable crop reports in
general, only small declines in visible
wheat supply and slow milling and ex-
port demand caused further declines.
Corn showed considerable resistance,
despite weakness in wheat and increase
of nearly 100000 bushels visible supply.
