GRAIN MARKET.
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Better weather
northwest with indications that Europe
is awaiting the Canadian crop move
ment did much to give downward
trend to wheat values today. The
wheat market here closed heavy, y to
Tx cents net lower; corn " to rs
cents off; oats u to ss off.
Provisions varied from II cents de-
cline to 5 cents advance.
Increased selling pressure, together
with lack of buying support for wheat
became more and more evident as the
day drew to an end. New export buy
ing of North American wheat amounted
to only about 100000 bushels. and
weakness of the Winnipeg market gave
emphisis to the fact that Canadian
wheat for deferred shipment is being
Offered below American grades. With
the movement of the Canadian wheat
crop close at hand, talk was heard that
Canadian competition is increasing and
that higher estimates of wheat yields
in Canada are decided offset to un-
favorable crop advices from Europe.
Lowest prices of the day in the
wheat market came just before the
finish. September in particular appear
ed weak, a prospect of good sized early
deliveries on September contracts maxi
ing number of holders uneasy. Be-
sides, the demand for cash wheat here
has diminished and 10000 bushels was
sent to store in Chicago elevators to-
day. Notice was taken, too, that this
is the fourth consecutive week the Uni
ted States visible supply has shown a
large increase. On the other hand,
friends of higher prices contended that
the world situation in wheat looks de-
eidedly bullish after the market has
felt the full effect of the spring crop
movement.
Corn and oats sagged with wheat.
weather conditions for corn as well as
for wheat were. more favorable.
Provisions were responsive to an up
turn in the value of hogs, but later
met with profit-taking.

of the country has awakened
the housewife to the need of apply

above will be of great help in making
understandable much of the theory
that, in the past, has seemed unde-

from statistics gathered by the health
experts, and thus have authority back

Once the housewife knows. the
sources of minerals and vitamins es-

greatly sinplifed by the use Of can

increase of $22,O0O,O0O in brokers' loans

that further downward revision of
