WHEAT DECLINES
At WEEKS CLOSE
Chicago Prices Down More
Than 2 Cents on News of
Argentine Rains.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN.
Associated Press Market Writer.

CHICAGO. August 2s.-Accom-
panying saggtng wheat values in all
major world markets. Chicago prices
dropped more than 2 cents a bushel
today to within fractions Of the
seasons lows which were established
earlier in the week.
Selling was attributed partly TO
receipt Of needed rain in important
Argentine wheat producing regions
and to encouragement because of slow
demand Of importing nations from
North American exportable supplies.
There was also the usual amount of
stop loss selling, September contract
liquidation and hedging as the market
wiped out all of the modest gain
scored this week.
Wheat closed 2-2la cents below yes

Wheat declined steadily during the
session, with only transient rallies,
and closed at the days lows. Liver
pool lost around 2 cents, Buenos Aires
dropped cent and Winnipeg was OIL
more than cents.
September corn broke as much as
~ cents early but recovered, due
partly to much lighter receipts, esti-
mated at only 3 cars. Corn for
October delivery was quoted for the
first time at a low of rs cents a
bushel, or 18 cents under September.
New crop contracts hit the lowest
levels for any corn delivery since
July, 1896.

NEW YORK, August 2S.-Higher
totals have been set down for nearly
all divisions Of the furniture industry
thus far in 1887, marking the nth
year Of constant progress. according
to survey by Dun a. Bradstreet, Inc.
Even though the gain has been
narrowing since May, retail sales for
the elasped seven months ranged
from IS to IS per cent more than
the corresponding 1896 volume Fac
tory operations have been slipping
since April, but production for the
period was 20 to 40 per cent larger
than last years. The rise in unified
orders to SO per cent over the 1896
comparative on April was shortened
to 47 per cent by August l.
Even If the bulge should fail to
attain last Falls proportions, con-
servative trade estimates set 1887 pro-
duction of household furniture 20 per
cent ahead Of 1896, which advanced
369 per cent from 1885. Based on
the preliminary 1896 total of $780,
900 900, computed by Seidman & Seid-
man, this would bring the value Of
1887 output to $5l6, 900, 900. While
representing an eight-year high, by
surprising previous annual totals back
to 1929 at 1853 900, 900, 1t still would
be 35.5 per cent under that Of 1925.
when the industry's peak was estab-
liShed at $500 100000
General outlook was considered
favorable for the remainder Of the
year, although occasionally fears were
expressed that retailers may he over
stocked, or that the percentage Of
capital tied up in installment &C
counts may be excessive.M shrdluu
counts may be excessive. Most Of
the large store, however, have been
buying cautiously since early Summer,
holding commitments closely in align
ment with probable requirements,
