Banks called about $14,000,000 in

dropped from AZ to 4 per cent. Talk
of a 315 per cent rate next week was

Many industrials sold off from their

final prices generally were around
the highest of the day, with the av-

the belief that the rapidity OF the

did much to bring about late price
rally in wheat today. In some sections
farmers were said to be storing two
bushels for every one bushel sold. AS
a result the wheat market here closed
irregular. &c net lower to Ac advance
corn 1c to 11ac off, oats 1sc to 19c
down and provisions showing &c to 10c
decline.
Numerous reports of smaller yields
of winter wheat than expected we're
in circulation today as dealings drew
near to the finish. In this connection,
special significance was attached to
news from Kansas City, st. Louis and
other centers that despite progress of
the domestic harvest no urgency to
market new wheat is in evidence. All
the way from Illinois points, through
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, adj
vices at hand told of disappointing
yields. Furthermore, according to one
report virtually third of the Texas
crop has already been marketed.
In contrast wit hthe late strength
shown by wheat was a downward
trend earlier owing to favorable Wea-
ther both in winter crop and spring
crop territory In particular reports OF
cool, breezy weather northwest had a
bearish influence, the conditions be-
ing just the right kind to retard black
rust. Special notice, too. was taken of
word that spring wheat this season
appears to possess an unusual ruSt-re-
sisting quality, the straw being harder
than is the case most years.
Higher temperatures in the corn
belt gave something of a setback to
corn values, the greater warmth be-
ing likely to promote corn growth. On
the other hand the Iowa state report
about corn crop conditions was re-
garded as bullish because Of indicated
need of rain. Oats sympathized with
corn.
Provisions reflected scattered sell
ing due largely to corn weakness.
