Wheat Today
CHICAGO, Aug. 31 W Heavy
llauldatlon In the September delivery
of wheat and corn swept all grains
oharply downward today. Weakness of
slocks and cotton in new xora was
reflected in early grain dealings, but
selling later by traders disposing of
September wheat and corn before de
liveries are made on contract tomor
row carried the market down about
a cents on wheat. Buying of deferred
months on the break steadies notn
grains, but persistent selling, said to
come from Chicago professionals, held
prices down, uaw weaaenea. rro
vlslons sagged with wheat and com. '
Last minute rallies erased soma
losses, but wheat closed weak and H
to lc lower than yesterday's finish,
corn to lo off, oate steady to o
down and provisions showing a drop ,'
of 6 to 16 cents.
