ent smallness of domestic primary re-
ceipts of wheat and rapid decreases
in the visible supply were attracting
attention and were likely to become
more and more impressive.
Besides. it was noted that Liver
pool stocks of wheat are only one
third of what they were year ago.
Cold weather over the week end fol-
lowing on the heels Of a good deal of

ritory was talked of as threatening to
cause more or less damage to crops.
Especially in the western two-thirds

large unloadings of Argentine corn
