Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19-Buying Of
September wheat contracts, in which
no trading will be permitted after
Saturday, helped to strengthen
wheat prices here today, but gains
were held to small fractions and
were wiped out before the close.
September wheat purchases were
attributed to consuming interests,
who regarded the contract as the
cheapest source of cash grain and
to previous short sellers not wish
ing to make delivery before the end
of the month. Strength in securities
and reports that interior mills are
having some difficulty in obtaining
cash grain also attracted attention.
Russia was understood to have
entered the Pacific Coast market for
soft white wheat, but this caused no
surprise In the trade, in as much as
this type OF business is normal at
this time Of year.
