Shattuck Arizona Great Northern Ore CHICAGO, July 8.—Likelihood that black rust would meet defeat in the great annual race with the spring wheat crop has led to lower prices here for wheat this week. Compared with a week ago, wheat this morning was down %c'to 3%é a bushel, corn %#c off to %c up, oats varying from ¥%e decline to %c gain and provisions at a setback of 20 to 22 to 80. With below normal temperatures northwest tending to check the on- set of the black rust plague, appre- hhension regarding possible serious crop damage was much relieved among wheat traders, and although prices rallied at times the general tendency was toward a lower level of values. Big world shipments ‘were likewise influential in promot- ing bearish sentiment, and 80, too, was the fact that the railroad strike haa been confined to:shopmen. Breaks in foreign exchange did a good deal apparently to restrict ex- port demand for wheat. New Or- leans, nevertheless, was outbidding Chicago for new wheat in Illinois, and besides was said to be getting most of the wheat offered in the west and southwest. Estimates that the European wheat crop would be 120,000,000 bushels less than last year seemed to make no lasting im- pression, and the same was true of reports that wet weather had been causing delay to threashing in Kan- ras, Missouri and Nebraska, Corn was upheld by active-ship- ping demand here. For the first time in months stocks of oats totaled lees than at -the correspénd- ing date Inst year. Increasing warehouse ‘supplies at western packing centers weakened provisions. ‘Wheat starced downward during the early deaiings today, the Ger- man political and financial situa- tion being ‘the dominating infmence. Crop news from the northwest was favorable. There was rather gen- eral selling on the-declines but later fair-support of the September deliv- ery by houses that usually act for a loc! interest and some buying by houses with seaboard connections tended to check the decline. The opening, which ranged from %o-to 1%c lower, with July $1.12% to $1.13% and September $1.11% to $1.12%, was followed by further de- clines:and then by a slight upturn. Renewal of commission house pres- sure caused the market to react after short covering had brought about somewhat of a rally and at the finish wheat showed a net loes of 1% to 2% points with July $112 to $1.12% and September $1.10% to $1.10%. Corn and oats were governed by the action of wheat, and on favor- able weather reports. After start- ing unchanged to %e off with Sep- tember 66%c to 664%4c, the corn mar- ket declined slightly, then rallied to around the initial figures, acted heavy with scattered liquidation in evidence and tie close was weak, 1%) -to 2% net lower, with Mountain and Guif .. 98 | Nortwest . - 30 35 4 o1 a9 35 “04 | Merritt os |Glenrock Of Oil Securities Furnished by Taylor and Clay. |Mike Henry > Os Mountain Producers .$ 2 £21.00 28.00 37.5 dean heseseey September 64% ‘to 64%c.
