Chicago Produce Market

chicago, aug. o.-tRl'
Corn was king today on the board
of trade. December delivery of corn
commanded 904 cents bushel, the
highest price yet this season. Talk
was current that owing to lack OF
moisture the new corn crop as whole
has been adversely affected at the crit
ical stage of development.
Closing quotations on corn We're
strong at the days top figures, 13c to
&C net higher. Wheat finished easy;
unchanged to &c lower, oats unchanged
to &c off, and provisions varying from
S2c decline 20 10c advance.
According to crop reports, the rain
record throughout the corn belt has
been unsatisfactory for month past,
and in this connection one leading au-
thority was out today with a summary
which attracted wide notice. The state
ment said that fainfall in July is very
largely the decisive factor in corn
production, moisture and moderate
temperature being essential at the
time of the tassel and silk. 1t is now
apparent, however that most of lndl-
ana together with the southern half of
Illinois, is seriously deficient in rain
fall, Iowa is below normal at great
ma jority of points. and other states
generally give evidence of a notable
shortage of moisture in sections.
Intimidated further by the POSSIBLE
ity of another hot wave, active pur-
chasing of future deliveries of corn
took place, and there was also lively
undoing of recent spread trades be-
tween corn and wheat. The uadoing.
of these spreads today added to the
volume of demand for corn and, mean
while, brought about selling of wheat
Subsequently, though the pronounced
strength of the corn market had con-
siderable influence toward checking
pressure to sell wheat and other grain.
Wheat values averaged lower,
largely on account of setback in
Liverpool quotations and because of
siowness of export call for North
American wheat. ,Increa sing supplies
at the more northerly domestic winter
wheat terminals tended to make buy
ers cautious, and so, likewise, did as
sertions that the peak of demand from
domestic millers had been reached. In
diana points sold red wheat to ex-
porters today at price equal to five
cents under September all rail ship
from Chicago.
Oats displayed no Importance and
kept within fractional limits
Provisions started lower but rallied
with corn.
