and with welcome rains north of the
Canadian boundary, both in Satkatche-
wan and in Alberta as-Well.
Notwithstanding that at times to-
day the wheat market appeared to be-
como oversold. price rallies failed to
last. One reason was that the fore
cast was for cooler weather over prac-
tically the whole grain belt. Further
more, export business remained light,
hardly. 100000 bushels all told. The
fact that Liverpool quotations were
higher to start with received virtually
no attention here. A subsequent break
in the Liverpool market was attributed
largely to announcement that Rouma-
MIA had removed the export duty on
wheat. Weekly statistics were bull
ish but for at least the time being
had little or no effect on values.
Corn and oats were Influenced in
the main by improved weather condi-
tions over the corn belt, in particular
heavy rains and cooler temperatures
southwest.
Provisions went downward, owing
chiefly to a 5000 cent break in the
hog market.
