port demand, together with less IA
vorable crop reports from Europe, had
bulliSh influence on the wheat mar
ket today during the early dealings.

ed also to bring about upturns. Buy
ing was more aggressive than had re-
Gently been the rule, and there was
less pressure to sell. Opening prices,
whiIl ranged from h decline to -
advance, with September 1.04A to los
and December 1.0TK to 1.071a, were
followed by material gains all around.
In the corn market the July deliv-
cry made a quick ascent to a new
high price record for the season. S434
With offerings scarce, shorts We're an
xious buyers. After opening unchang-
ed to q higher, September 70 to 1914,

tinued to harden.
