Wheat Prices Upin Week;
Demand Weaker at Close

CHICAGO. Aug. 1a.-Speculatfve
sentiment was insufficient to bolster
the demand and buying power waned
In today's short session OF the wheat
market after a manifestation OF
strength in early dealings, the closing
being weak. September wheat fell
off from s1.00A to 9shc, December
from S1.04A to s1.03% and May from
ti.os% to s1.09h.
Corn trading was held up by gossip
that the government had apparently
over-estimated the corn crop in Iowa
and prices closed steady at the same
az Fridays finish.
Sharp curtailment IN wheat seed
ing as revealed by the governments
report early in the week had much
to do with higher prices chalked up.
Compared with n week ago, wheat
this morning showed gains varying
from &c TO &c a bushel. with corn
ranging from ho decline to a rise Of
2Ac. oats 1@1xc to 1h@1Ic up.
and provisions at 37c to COO advance.
Bullish effects Of the official re-
port indicating 1855 per cen reduc-
ton in domestic winter wheat acre
& his fall were evident both before
and after the report was Issued and
were made more emphatic by esti-
mates that the Canadian yield OF
wheat this season would be greatly
diminished in comparison with earlier
predictions. Besides word was re-
ceived that the wheat production Of
India for 1923 was expected to be
80. 000. 900 bushels less than the
amount which heretofore had been
looked for.
Prospects. however. that notwith-
standing a 35c duty some likelihood
of wheat imports from Canada RAJ
looming into view counted Mt times
as a noticeable bearish influence in
the market here. Another depressing
factor was gossip current hat the
French government would fatty re-
sect British suggestions regarding a

was talk also that doniestir mills had
obtained all the wheat they need at

president Coolidge will be found

of tho United States he says "he
is the first President to ever have
had a thorough economic training.
While at Amherst college he majored

who have heard him speak or have
