Grain Briefs

CHICAGO. Aug. 29.-There are around
10 000. 900 bushels of wheat in Chicago and
mills throughout the country reported
to be filing so rapidly that they are buying
less freely and are having only a moderate
trade in flour,
Big commission houses which were on the
buying side of wheat last week were the
leading sellers Tuesday. Sentiment was
hearish especially among the cash houses,
owing to limited demand from the sea-
board and belief that stocks are to con-
tine to accumulate.
Corn trade is mostly bearish and talking
lower prices on the favorable crop reports
and a belief that values are to work some
what lower.

lifted prices throughout the general
list. Steel common moved into new
high territory and other industrial
leaders snapped back to the best lev
