WHEAT DROPS
ON REPORTED
LARGE SUPPLY
Corn and Oats Up Sharply
on News of No Rain
and Firing.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 31.-Wheat con-
tinued its drop this morning due TO
unloading by traders worried over
large supplies in primary storage
Corn jumped up as reports of no
rain and some firing came in from
the western corn belt. Oats came
up independent again Of wheat,
which it has been reacting with
for some days.
At the opening wheat was I'M
changed to q cent down; corn was
up Is to 81 cents, and oats we're
up Is cent. Provisions were I'M
changed
Heavy Selling
Heavy selling by local houses,
Winnipeg and Eastern traders, put
heavy load on the market which
forced wheat prices sharply lower
Tuesday and while reports from the
northwest remain sensationally
bulIish this seems to have no re-
action on the trade. Most traders
are of the opinion that prices will
go higher but are waiting for eX-
port sales to come in. Liverpool
was lower due to market conditions
here.
Corn continues to be dominated
by wheat though reports from the
western belt say good soaking rains
are needed at once. Higher prices
are expected soon.
Oats showed some independence
Tuesday but reacted with the major
grains late. Australia bought oats
here late in the day which seemed
to confirm reports of drought and
shortage Of grain.

the stock market into higher ground
today. General Electric made a
new record for the present stock, u.

greater activity than on any day

at ! 0per cent, although additional

making the tone easier.
Spectacular advances occurred in
4 few issues. Auburn Auto was
whiler up IA points to a peak at
All; Peoples Gas rose % 15to 285, a
record; Commercial solvents, 1872 to
294, equaling its high, and General
Electric 9i2 to 377.
Few Losses Noted
Very few losses were noted. Com
monWealth Power Sagged more than
five points, and a few other losses
Of a point or so we're registered. The
tendency was up ward with gains
of three points common.
United States Steel came within
touching distance of its high. Trad
ers argued that the stock would
earn $24 a share in 1929 and hence
at present prices the issue was SELL
ing less than ten times earnings. In
dependent steels went up with the
