be credited almost entirely TO the
Mississippi and other floods and a

There are good reasons for the be-

One of the most important is that
wages will be maintained by organ.

Another is that management has been

labor have sought To eliminate waste.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, June 25 (E9.--Regulation
Fourth of July weather today, hot and
sunny, Just right for wheat and corn,
gave all the grain markets decided
downward slant. Wheat closed un-
settled, Is cent to l cent net lower;
corn IL cents to 2A cents off; oats
at 4 cent to " cent decline, and pro-
visions unchanged to setback OF IL
cents.
With conditions tip-top for progress
of the wheat harvest and for helping
the corn crop to make an approach
again toward normal general selling
of cereals developed early. Reports
from the wheat harvest region said
the outlook could not well be better.
Some indications today pointed to a
better export demand looming for
wheat. One Chicago house disposed
{of 10000 bushels of red wheat to
Europe, the shipment to be taken out
of store in the east There was talk
prevalent also that by the time any
new wheat reaches Chicago old stocks
promise to be down to small proper
tionS.
Predictions of damage soon by wheat
and rust in spring wheat districts were
likewise heard, but for at least the time
being the well-nigh perfect weather
southwest and west was too much for
the bulls.
In addition to widespread improved
conditions for new corn growth, post
ing of some old corn in one of the
elevators here as having spoiled was
an incentive to sell. The market was
without any adequate support from
buyers, and on the price breaks which
took place numerous standing orders
to stop losses at various fixed limits
were automatically forced into execu-
tion. Oats sympathized with corn.
Provisions reflected the downward
trend of grain values and of hogs
