RAINS IN NORTHWEST
SEND WHEAT DOWN
July Displays Strength as Saturday
Is Last Day for Deliveries.
Corn Easy.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 2S.--Rain and
cooler weather in Canada gave a gen.
eral downward trend to wheat prices
today in the first part of the Board
OF Trade session. With Saturday the
last day for deliveries on July con-
tracts, however, July wheat displayed
relative strength. Opening ls to l
down, wheat f1uctuated near to the
initial range. Corn, oats and provi-
sions were easy, corn starting "a to
y OF and later declining further.
Absence of selling pressure today on
the July delivery of wheat here was
partly accounted for by unexpected
scantiness of receipts Of new wheat in
Chicago. Arrivals here today totaled
only 266 cars, as against 403 cars a
year ago. On the other hand todays
receipts at Kansas City-843 cars
were more than double those of a year
back.
Continued ready absorption of wheat
receipts at primary markets in this
country is taken in some quarters as
positive evidence of an immense do
nestle demand for wheat and flour.
Opinion today, though, appeared to be
divided as to whether the urgency of
the demand will outlast the heavy
run of receipts in the Southwest.
Chicago millers absented themselves
from the market today, and gave as a
reason the widening difference here
between July and September quota
