More moisture over the grain
belt and forecast of continued un-
settled weather in some localities
tended to depress wheat. There was
more profit taking as a result of
the Fridays bulge, but this was
offset by short covering and mill
buying and some apprehension
over war news which helped to
rally the market at times. Buenos
Aires wheat weakness, with prices
closing 3 10 lower, also attracted
attention.
Minneapolis reports estimated
500. 900 bushels of loan wheat were
sold there. Improved moisture con
ditions in the southwest together
with price levels more attractive
to farmers encouraged sales else
where. Sales here Saturday were
estimated at $4,000 bushels.
