The Chicago letter of Bol- ton, de Ruyter & Co., sald: ‘“We cannot see ! much in the short side of wheat. We have | been bullish, both on facts and on the theory | The facts are that the world’s crop of wheat is short, the supplies of old wheat are ex- | hausted, and at current rates of consumption 1- year are to come, Stocks of flour are exhaust- ed and the demand !s large and urgent. So | far as this country is concerned farmers are | well to'do and both able and disposed to ma: ket their surplus slowly. These are the facts. Our theory has been that with small European crops, considerable damage and delay by bad weather and materlal injury to other food pro- | ducts, the Buropean demand in this country | must soon materialize on a considerable scale and become urgent. So far our theory is a disappointment. We still feel, however, that time s the only element of uncertainty. the meantime -at the helght of the movemes | stocks are not increasing and are very small In this market the only change was a de- | cline in futures.

CORN—The market continues weak owing to | the Iiberal receints from the West. The Chi- ago letter of Bolton, d= Ruyter & Co. say: is a little higher. There are fu her general rains throughout the West which | are not needed and which are unfavorable to the growing crop. There is also a cheertul | prospect of frost, particularly in the western boundary of corn belt. The cash situation is a fairly strong one. Receipts are moderate, land corn is being freely taken for shipment.

The Chi- cago ietter of Boiton, de Ruyter & Co. said: ““There is not much change In prices. The general feeling fs fairly steady, with senti- ment probably favoring the bull - side. The advance from the low point has been a mate- but has been contributed to largely by the demand from shorts. Receipts of hogs are moderate and demand fair, Several wecks | of what should be a good period of consump- | tive demand are immediately ahead of us and | this influences the speculative feeling. It is | therefore probably too sgon to begin umns | provisions short and perhaps they ma. bought on the soft spots for some profits. \ CURED MEATS—Baccn, 12%c per b for | | beavy, 13c for light medium, 15c for light, | | 10%e for extra light, 17%c for sugar-cured and | | {18%c for extra sugar-cured: Eastern suga | cured FHams, ;.
