WHEAT PRICES MOVE
ON NARROW LIMITS
Review for Week Shows Market
Affected by Reported Decrease
in Visible Supply.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August "a decrease
in the report OF the visible supply OF
wheat. issued early in the week, com
bined with the support OF the r..arket
by firms with Eastern connections
during the latter part, put this grain
above it's close of a week ago by from
1a cent TO 2 cents margin. Between
the two closings the market alternated
each day on first the losing side and
then. the gain side. with an exception
ally narrow range over the entire
period.
Compared with q week ago, corn
showed but & small difference, being
Il down to q up; oats were Il under.
and provisions varied from ~ cents de-
cline to 40 cents advance.
Reports OF big yields in Canada
brought break in the market over
the last week end, but on Monday.
when the Governments visible supply
report showed decrease, whereas an
increase had been anticipated, there
was a rush of buying and the market
showed strength. A period OF dull.
ness then set in, but shortly after
ward buying orders from Eastern IN
terests began to be felt and they con-
tinued spasmodically throughout the
week.
Then the Winnipeg and Minneapolis
markets began to show strength as
the result OF buying Of wheat by mil
iers. and unfavorable weather reports
from the Northwest. and the local
market acted in sympathy with these
other two. Later in the week the
trading fell OFF and then seemed TO re-
cover. with the result that the values
ductuated within narrow limits, but
finished with net gains for the week.
Corn was featureless early but ap-
peared TO exert independent strength
when high temperatures were reported
over the Southwest during the middle
OF the week. Thereafter this grain
seemed to follow the trend of wheat.
Offerings Of oats we're light, and this
kept the market within narrow
range. Provisions varied but ended
with a gain.

BUTTER PRICES-F0R WEEK
PRACTICALLY UNCHANGED
Minor Fluctuations With Fairly
Active Demand Noted in the
Chicago Market.
b. tho Associated Press.

CHICAGO. August 22.-The week
ending August 22. 50 far as the butter
market was concerned, was typical OF
previous weeks during the month.
There we're no. radical changes IN
prices or conditions in the market,
there being only minor fluctuations
registered.
The week opened steady with the
prices OF 90. A fairly active demand
on Tuesday and Wednesday resulted
in slight price advances. but by Thurs.
day prices had again reached a point
al which buyers were showing less
interest and the market appeared q
trtfie strained.
This vas especially true on the east
ern markets, where trade at the close
OF the week vas reported SLOW, With
an easier undertone apparent. The
nigh prices. as compared with last
year. are evidently having some effect
On the consumption. Large chain
stores and tobbers report a falling Off
In their outlets from last year. and
this Is further substantiated b. the
TACT that, With receipts az the four
markets showing no material increase
over last year, the into-storage move
Tnent at the four markets has exceeded
last year by a fair margin.
This leads to the conclusion that con-
sumption Is lighter than last year and
the excess over consuTnptive demand
!s being sent to storage.
