Hardly had the news Of her mar
rage in Tijuana, lower California.

FROST FAILURE
LOWERS WHEAT
Warmer Weather in Canadian
Grain Belt Causes Early
Setbacks

Chicago, Aug. "a (AP) Sharp
downturns in wheat price here today
accompanied news of warmer wealth
er in Canada and of little or no dam
age of consequence from frost. Be-
sides, export business in North
American wheat today was slow,
amounting to only about 100000
bushels. Corn also turned easier
toward the last, owing to denials of
earlier reports Of frost at Sioux
City, Ia.
Wheat closed unsettled. lac to
212c net lower, corn unchanged to
40 hc off, oats unchanged to Csc
down, and provisions varying from
SC decline to q rise of 1O@12c.
Increased selling pressure against
wheat went hand in hand today with
apparent total absence Of expected
frosts which had aroused fear of
harm to the Canadian wheat crop,
yesterdays buyers were prompt to
unload purchases, and there was evil
dence also of hedging of newly har-
vested wheat. Another bearish fac
tor was an estimate current that Ar
gentina still has 100000 bushels
Of wheat available for export.
Word today Of some frost in Iowa
stimulated buying Of corn.
Official reports showed light frost
at some points in North Dakota
and Nebraska, and private returns
showed a light frost at Sioux City,
Ia, although the official low tenn
perature at that point was AZ. There
was considerable short covering and
commission house buying in the corn
market, and the deferred deliveries
advanced around Y per cent over
yesterdays finish, but selling against
bids checked the advance. and when
wheat weakened. corn followed. Sep
TENDER was unsettled with some SELL
ing on the increased receipts here.
The forecast was fair and walGer.
Private reports were somewhat more
mixed as to the outlook for the new
crop. Oats were stronger on COM
mission house buying, but failed to
hold the advance.
Provisions displayed firmness.
Packers were buyers.
