prices, which- tumbled almost two
cents a bashel, led a general de
cline of .train rallies today In a
reaction apparently based on Im
proved molstare -- conditions In
the north central states and Can
ada as well as lugging domestic
and International trade. -
With commercial and specula
tive activity restricted by uncer
tainty as to the war situation,
values were permitted to drift
lower under the pressure of com
paratively small selling; ' orders.
Some hedains; of wheat was In evi
dence and corn belt rains, with
forecast - of continued vhowery
conditions, attracted attention,
but traders . also watched price
movements of other commodities,
particularly the lows registered
by sufar and coffee futures.
Wheat was down, Sept-
tember 75 H-H; December 76-
Just before the close of the
British food ministry announced
an agreement for purchase of
100,000.000 bushels of Canadian
wheat. In the crop year endlna-
July, 1941, but traders regarded
this .type of inter-government
operations as not surprising. They
pointed out the amount Involved
represents less than 25 per cent
of the Canadian exportable sur
plus expected to be available aft
er harvest.
The trade heard reports that
Ireland is negotiating for a mixed
cargo of ' wheat and corn from
North America and exporters eon
firmed purchase by the United
Kingdom so far this week of
400,000 bushels of Canadian
wheat held In bond at U. 8. At
