Wheat-sales speak of a better de-
mand for nearby parcels In both United
Kingdom and the Continent. All Aus
tralian wheat af1oat is said TO have been
taken by the Continent In southwestern
markets receipts Of old wheat are lessen
ing and the new crop is not offered In
volume. 1t Is also a fact that the de-
mand for current receipts Is better at
higher prices. AS yet there have been no
complaints from spring wheat territory,
but 1t Is known that rains will soon lie
wanted. II is not our province TO attempt
to forecast the weather, but unless there
are good rains in the Northwest and in
Canada the market probably viii be
easily Influenced. Since the commence
ment Of spring growth the crop news,
as whole, has been Of the most fatter
ing sort. In addition to this. the do
nestle milling and the foreign export
demand has been particularly slow. 1t
Is natural TO believe that the long con
tinuation OF the conditions brought about
their over exploitation in values so that
In the event of any Improvement in the
foreign demand or unfavorable turn In
the crop news. values should be quite
ensiye. 1t is essentially weather
mardket.
Corn and Oats-Unfavorabl news from
the oats crop has been received from
many sources, and the market Is be-
ginning to pay more attention to them,
although trade Is not yet as broad as
Il will be. Possibility Of extended
drought over the corn belt has been the
motive In the days market. There is
some reason for taking this condition
into account, because prices have been
under the domination OF favorable news
and slow demand for so long a time
Illinois and Iowa points again sold cash
corn In large way but the cash mar
ket continues relatively strong. There
is no increase IN country selling OF oats
and on the contrary, there is a demand
from that source Oats are not likely to
display any weakness, as there is not
much probability of any great improve
ment In the condition Of the crop, but
corn will be sentitive to weather condI-
lions.
PROFESSIONALISM easy tone in the hog
market brought n little selling In July
lard, but there was no particular volume
Of trade, strength in corn being a coun-
ter influence.

There was an entire absence of
uniformity in today's business on the
stock exchange.
During the first few minutes of the
session there was fairly good demand
for considerable variety of stocks. This
was soon followed by rather unin-
teresting period. with prices changes very
irregular.
Several issues were distinctly weak.
Including in the list were Mexican Pc
troleu mand Chandler Motor.
The market later began TO show some
signs of duIlness, but as midday was
approached a fairly good demand de-
mand developed for railroad issues ana
this helped to steady the general hsl.
Then followed another violent upward
movement in Mexican Petroleum. with
every evidence Of urgent short covering.
The companys statement, while making
very brilliant showing, could not have
been the cause of today's rise, because
the early dealings gave no indlcatloh

seouent violent advance is certainly not
the kind Of a market that attracts IN
