CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO. Aug. 1. (UP)-Wheat
prices advanced after an uncertain
start today on the Chicago board
of trade in response to unfavorable
weather reports from the North
American spring wheat territory
which indicated no relief over the
weekend.
At the close wheat was up 15s to
? cents; Sept. 112A cents; corn was
up 3A II 4 cents, Sept. 105 Il cents,
oats was up 2h to "a, Sept. 42B
cents
Prices held about steady at the
opening as traders were on both
dies of the market. Heavy profit
taking together with liduidation
held the upturn in check. Bullish
crop and weather news from the
drought stricken northwest and
the sharp rally in corn futures
lifted prices in the late trade. Fail
ure of the Winnipeg and domestic
markets to reflect the rally here,
was a depressing factor.
Corn prices scared in nervous
session. The September future
led the late rally. the full cent
limit. Traders were influenced by
forecasts for continued drought
conditions in the corn belt over the
weekend. Oats and rye advanced
in sympathy with other grains.
