Logan A Bryan ad vise: - Ths wheat market closed from to 2 cents lower thsn Saturday. The prin cipal decline was In the May and the least In September, There was a strong opening at quite a sharp Advance, -which seemed to be Instituted by Armour, so as to onload. There was free selling of wheat through brokers after the ad vance, The market broke sharply under it and closed not far from the low point ol the day, Naturally th infer ence. Is that the selling was for Armour. The world's shipments were large, 10,- 466.000 bushels. The amount on pas sage Increased 2,204,000 bushels. The visible Supply Increased 237,000 bushels against a decrease of 672,000, bushels last year. Primary receipts' were con siderably below a year ago for the day. The foreign markets are still un encouraglng and show only -dullness. with somewhat of a dragging tendency. The wheat demand situation is so arti ficial on account of the congested condi tion In May and an unsettled and nerv ous market Is likely for some time to come. With no encouragement from abroad, however, and with stocks of wheat at home Increased and consider ing the price, we rather feel that ths July and September wheat should be old on ths hard spots. , , Cora a Bait Bows. ' The corn market was about is cent down. It shared In the strength of wheat but broke later In the day under what seemed to be free general feeling. The weather In the West should Im prove the quality of corn somewhat and this, together with the recent advance and the price, makes a local feeling which is-bearish! A good deal of the orders at the opening we think were from short sellers.. There Is no Changs In ths volume of the movement or In the demand. The visible supply increased 284,000 bushels against 336,000 bushels last year. Until the movement Increases we think, however, we would buy corn on any soft spots and sharp break. Oafa i Cent Bows. The oats market closed about, cent lower. , The weakness In corn and wheat seemed to be the depressing cause. The volums of business was not la rare and the market was not un changed to any great extent. Patten's operations were not In evidence Moder ate receipts and a fair demand continues to. constitute the srt-ong feature. The market shows $0,000' bushels increase against 187,000 bushels a year ago In the visible. -. Provisions Ara Blghar, The provision market closed strong, 15 cents higher. The congested condi lion, of the lard Is the strong feature. The''-weather In the West during th past 4 S hours caused strength and re ceipts are large. There is a good deal of bull talk on lard.
