GRAINS
CLOSE IRREGULAR
July Wheat Holds Steady
Undertone During Session,

BIZ United Financial
CHICAGO, June Grain prices
were irregular at the close of the
Chicago Board Of Trade today.
July wheat held steady undertone
throughout he session with a fair
class of buying induced by reports
Of crop damage from the Southwest,
the result Of foods and heavy rains.
This was Offset, however. by selling
AGAINST hedges IN deferred months.
IN easier undertone prevailed in
corn. This was attributed to the fact
that beneficial rains have fallen IN
June, usually a drought month for
crops, and the large acreage and ia
vo~able crop news.
Oats were dull and neglected and
closed weak.
Provisions weakened after the early
buying demand was satisfied and the
general decline In hog prices.
