LET-UP IN EXPORT BUYING;
GRAIN PRICE FALL FACTOR

CHICAGO. July 30-Sudden stop
page of export buying has done
much to bring about lower prices in
the wheat market this week. Com
pared with a week ago. wheat this
morning showed losses ranging from
cent to 212 cents bushel. with
corn varying from Aa7s cent decline
to g cent advance. and oats down
1sa2 to 3b cents. In provisions the
net changes extended from 12 cents
decline to II cents advance.
At first wheat buying for export
was apparently on such a large scale
That published moderate estimates
were derided as Intentionally mis-
leading. Bulls put stress. too. on ad-
vices that wheat bought by Belgium
IN Australia was arriving out of con-
dition and bn statements from Sec
retary Hoover that United States
surplus grain would be in demand
for Europe. Besides. a falling off in
country selling. caused opinion to
gain ground that the maximum of
receipts had been passed. so far as
the domestic winter crop was con-
cerned.
Later in the week. however, the
Canadian crop was reported to be a
bumper. and subsequently Euro
pean demand seemed to come almost
to halt. Inquiry from domestic
millers ceased also to be of an ur-
gent character. and with renewal
or heavy receipts the gains which
had been scored earlier in the week
were more than wiped out
Rains eased the corn market some
what. Oats were depressed by rural
selling.
Hog prices at the highest level yet
this season gave steadiness to provi-
sions.

day Influences have ruled. and dis
tributive trade and manufacturing
are quieter than for some time past.
with unemployment complained of
more at several cities. Reflection of
the seconds is had in reports of less
active buying from wholesalers in
secondary markets. and of holding off
by country merchants, pending a
clearer view of admittedly rather
mixed crop conditions.
These conditions hold true, too.
despite the fact that most activity
continues to be manifested in the
apparel and kindred trades, and in
face of the increasing talk of re-
tailers' stocks of seasonable goods
being almost uniformly light. The
situation. however. finds not a few
redeeming features visible. most of
these having. to do with the further
future. Most Immediately helpful of
all these is the continued strength
of buying of our grain. particularly
wheat. by Europe. which still reports
duough affecting crops"

to hold the position they gained In
the South American markets during
the war simply because they have

They began their export operations
by insisting upon spot payments
against bills of lading and allowed
the buyer no time to examine the

Again, North American investors

mentioned There are no fundamental
divergences to overcome. but simply
those of method. ii says, adding that
harmonious relations are worth more
