prevailed In tho wheat market ncnlii today.
Tliore wns enormous taking of profits on
tho theory that the buglo had been sultlclnnt
for tho present, sending prices oft nftcr a
rush ot huyiiiR orders from nil directions

close yesterday, and Mny, to $1.43 "4,
affntnst $1.39 nt tho end yesterday. The
close was lowor.
Soiling through commission houses was
very heavy. There was no apparent attempt
to minimize tho oxtent of tho Injury to the
crop In the Northwest, but tho advance had
been so rapid that setback naturally was
In order. It was nsscrtcd hero that threo
northwestern States would not rnlso suf
ficient wheat for their mills this year and
It was claimed that tha shortngo thero was
the irreatest In 16 years.
Corn nlso finished cnRler after It had
shown strength. Karly thero was nctlvo
buying by many Interests, and tho mnrltet
was helped by burned pastures In most of
tho bolt nnd a cessation of offerings from
tho country. Realizing, and somo rnln, re
sulted In a decline,
Thero was a big excited mnrkot In oats
and Inst prices, whllo below tho top, wore
