Chicago Produce Market


General assumption beforehand that
the government report this afternoon
as to prospective winter wheat acreage
would prove bullish led to decided
upturn today in the price of wheat. The
market closed firm, l to lac net higher.
September 1.009 to 1.01 and December
LOAF to 1.04g. Corn finished to &c up
and oats at AGA to a@ac gain. with
provisions showing 2 to 22c advance.
Although a majority of wheat trad
ers considered an accurate forecast of
the amount of winter wheat planting
was practically impossible, it was re-
garded as certain that the data avail
able would indicate sharp reduction
in acreage compared with last. fall. Alb
sence of selling, rather than an in
crease Of buying, appeared as the first
result Of this view, but with prices
showing an upward tendency the num-
Der of purchasers enlarged and toward
the close took in many who previously
had been on the selling side.
A material falling off in the wheat
movement from first hands in this
country and in Canada tended further
to lift prices. Domestic primary re-
ceipts were of much less volume than
either last week or year ago. In adj
dition, bulls contended that too little
attentio is being given to the fact that
the present price of wheat discounts
much that has been bearsh and that
according to the last official estimates
North America will have much less
wheat than last year.
Corn and oats rallied with wheat.
