GRAIN: Grain prices have suffer
ed losses throughout the past week

Lack Of speculative support due to
generally favorable weather condi-
tons and unsettled strike sitoation as
against selling pressure from hedges
on southwestern receipts have been
depressing factors. Chicago Septem-
Der wheat 2ssc lower; Chicago Sep
TENDER corn 1850 lower. On the Gath
wheat market was heavy. Prices con-
tinuing to slump to new low points
on deferred deliveries. Beneficial
rains over corn belt which caused
selling that, ran into stop loss orders
together with weakness in wheat re-
suited In declines. Visible supply
