CHICAGO GRAIN

tuating a two weeks record breaking
fall in grain prices. all future de-
liveries Of wheat plunged down to-

Der wheat contracts. which alone
have heretofore held I'D decidedly
above the dollar level, today tun-
bled TO 80 5-8c.
The market had the lowest general
close in many years. being dominat-
cd by acute weakness OF securities.
by timely rains in Canada. and
above all by a rapid increase Of
arrivals OF newly harvested domestic
wheat. augumenting the huge supply
left over from last year.
Closing quotations on wheat were
unsteady at but little above the

ish. Corn closed IA : l 3-8 down.
oats 3-6 = / 5-8c off and provisions
showing 12c-60c decline.
Despite heavy profit-taking today
on the part of recent speculative
sellers, the wheat market showed
little power TO rally. One reason
vas that forecasts of continued fav-
orable weather next week for the
domestic harvest were generally
construed as pointing TO no cessa-
ton OF the rush of rural marketing
OF wheat needless Of the Worldwide
downward plunge Of prices.
Prices for corn and oats ran down
hill along with wheat. Hot wea-
ther likely to promote growth OF
the new corn crop tended to accel-
crate the movement Of the corn
market toward a lower level.
