CHICAGO, July 22-Trading in
wheat during the early dealings to-
day was light and featureless. There
was some small buying power and To-
cal traders were inclined to press the
selling side. Scattered rains in the
northwest section of the grain belt
yesterday and predictions of contin-
ued good weather for the crop made
the outlook more favorable to the
bears.
There was a lull in the talk regard
| ing the railroad strike. which is fund
amentally a bearish argument. though
! it is believed something promising
would result from the conference be
tween President Harding and the
head of the Railroad Labor Board.
who was summoned to Washington.
The opening, which ranged from un-
changed figures to 1s lower. Septem-
| ber. 1.10h to -1.10A, and December
1:11A to 1.12. was followed by
something of rally.

/ Oats started unchanged to bah up
with September 347s to 35 and held
close to the initial range.

to lift provisions.
