Wheat

Wheat-The strength displayed this
morning was contrary TO the opinion
expressed late yesterday that the ac-
tion at Springfield would have a de-
pressing influence, but at the same
time it was not entirely unexpected as
every crop report was extremely pes
simistic. On the advance news SEEM
ed TO turn bearish especially from the
southwest where beneficial rains oc-
CURED. and large ctlntry offerings to
arrive were reported. but up TO the
close there was no business confirmed.
With showers predicted for that see-
ticn of the grain belt that have been
elamoring for rain. we believe this
quite discounts the damage that has
already occurred, and believe a set
back will be seen pending the re-
ceipts of averse crop advices from ter
ritories, other than that already COW
cred. Some foreign offerings to ar
rive were received. but up TO the close
was not confirmed.
