CHICAGO GRAINS


CHICAGO, July 1. UP)--W heat
prices doomed today on the ChlcaGo
board of trade in response to bull-
ish Canadian government spring
wheat crop report.
At the close wheat was up 3ls to
3A cents. July 95A cents, corn was
up rs to 2& cents, July 6SA cents.
Oats was up IL to ~ cents, July
30A cents.
Wheat prices held strong through
out the session. Heavy buying of
all futures was generated by the
Canadian report which was decided
ly bullish and a L. S. government
report which stated the drought sit
uation in the northwest was worse
than the disaster in 1884.
There was considerable short Gov
ering on the upturn. The forecast
for the stricken northwest wheat
area was for hot, dry weather and
was a factor in the strong mark ct
tone. Hedging sales had little eff
feet on the market here.
Corn prices skY-rock keted under
heavy buTing movement and the
July and September futures reached
new high levels for the season in
early trading. Oats firmed in sym
pathy with other grain in moderate
ly active trading. Rye advanced
under scattered buying of all tu-
lures.
