GRAIN
CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, July 1O-P-Selliag
hit the oats pit late in the session
Wednesday, reducing early adj
vances ranging to nearly 3 cents
and sending all contracts down to
a lower close. The late weakness
in oats impaired some easiness to
corn, which lost part of an early
upturn.
Selling of oats was based upon
good crop weather, expectations
that the Agriculture department
would forecast a bumper crop after
the close, and another reduction
in the Canadian equalization fee
On exports of the grain. These fac
tors outweighted hopes that cell
ings would be removed from all
grains.
At the close, Orr was 3 cents
higher than yesterdays finish,
January $1.61A, and oats were %.
Us lower, July 84B-85. There was
no trade in barley.
Canada reduced it's export tau
on oats S cents a bushel, marking
a IS cent decrease in the past
three days. The tax Thursday will
be 40 cents a bushel on shipments
eastward or westward from For
William. The tax on mixed feed
oats will be reduced 5 cents to q
cents a buShel.
There were also heavy offerings
of oats by the country Wednesday,
purchases being placed at 500, 0CC
bushels. This was the largest in
several weeks. Cash prices were
to 2 cents higher and demand was
fairly strong. Cash dealers also
reported purchases for future de.
livery of 100, 900 bushels of wheat
and As, 900 bushels of corn.
