CHICAGO, July 1.-THE whole
world rushed to the buying side of
the Chicago Board of Trade today
and sent prices climbing at dizzy
pace.
The occasion was report on crop
condition by the United States gov
eminent that Indicated the shortest
wheat crop in more than thirty
years.
Wheat closed 4 to 5 cents higher.
Old July finished at 927sc; Septem-
Der at $3.50 and December at Csc.
Other grains were sharply higher.
Usually when the market is active
price changes are so rapid that
prices on the board are as much as
a cent out of line with actual pit
sales. Today it was different. Offer
ings were so quickly absorbed that
prices maintained their firm tone
throughout the morning.
There was spontaneous trading at
the start but as the buyers enthus-
iasm waxed the sellers became fewer
and fewer until near the close there
was almost no trading. Holders of
wheat decided to keep on holding it
for higher prices.
