Wheat Easier
After Hitting a
Nine-Year Top
Large Crop and Waning: of European
War and Flood Scare Re
verse the Trend.
By T. W. KIEXLEN
I'nitt ii i'n-ss Stall Corrosuondent
Chicago. Jim'- So (TP). Wheat
prices soani! to It-year highs and
then droned sharply during the first
Fix months of 19S7, a mid-year sur
vey showed today. Late in June a
ltiovi-ry was underway.
Market influences ran the gamut
from war scares in Europe to near
flood tonditions in Kansas. Okla
homa and Texas where the first of
the crop harvest was begun.
Ilu ring the months when May tu
tures. representing the last of the
IcjV) crop, were on the market, ac
nnunc.il. In January May wheat
climbed to a 0-year top of ?1.1.'.'3.
highest for any future after April,
192S.
The January price- for a bushel of
May wheat was quickly overshadow
ed as a mad European scramble for
Fupnlles carried the price to $1.40
and then to more than $1.42. an S
year high. i:i March and April trad
ing. Fluctuation of this European de
mand, and finally complete stop
page had a mewurial enect cm the
market. However, casual estimates of
the actual wheat taken by Europe
bore out December, forecasts
that Europe, Germany in particular,
would be an extremely heavy buyer
of foreign wheat.
In the early days of June, there
was evii! -nee that this demand would
be renewed as the 10:J7 crop be
comes available.
As war scares diminished, condi
tions in the domestic southwest and
Canada began to attract attention.
Early drought conditions in Kansas
and in the Oklahoma and Texas pan
handles were overshadowed by late
spring rains that revived the hones
of the dust-bowl sector for a crop.
Po bright have the winter wheat
prospects become that government
and private estimates agreed that a
crop of at least 149,000,000 bushels
could be expected, giving America
its first billion-dollar crop .since 1927.
As May futures trailing ceased
in the wheat pit of the Board of
Trade prices were quoted at ?1.19'2
$1.20. a drop of almost 2") cents a
bushel from the season's high.
With the start of Jui.e trading in
terest in the southwest superseded
foreign news.
As the harvest season approached
and the need for rain increased trad
ers became anxious. There was con
siderable liquidation in the July fu
tures, however, as much-needed rains
began to fall but when these rains
kept on beyond even extreme imits
JL. ......
of necessity, to the extent of hamp
ering harvesting in Texas, Kansas
and Oklahoma, bullishness was re
stored and increased.-
Reports or rust started in Texas
and have gradually spread north as
far as the Dakotas. It has been stated
that the spring wheat belt may be
acutely stricken with the pest to the
detriment of the estimated 200,000,-
000 bushel spring wheat crop.
Conditions in Canada, particular
ly in Saskatchewan, drew a great
j share of attention in the latter part
;ot June. Early reports that drought
I (iimniro In n:iil:i m!-ht ruin from
", 000, 000 to 14,000,000 acres of
Canadian v. heatlands were substan
tiated when a Chicago grain expert
toured the territory.
II. C. Donovan made a 300-mile
circle tour of the territory around
Kegina and reported "conditions are
every bit as bad as they have been
pictured. Ilains in good volume late
in the third week of June will be
without material benefit."
Activity in the corn market fol
lowed rather generally that of wheat.
A moderate boom was instituted early
in June on reports that Iowa corn
would be materially hampered by ex
cessive spring rains.
Bulges and subsequent dips in the
price of a bushel of corn were not so
wide nor so violent as the changes
in wheat.

ADULTS TAUGHT TO PLAY
IN ODD PARIS SCHOOL
Taris. (CP). A school where adults
can learn to play with toys is the
idea which Mine. Jeanne Valreux
is successfully developing in a fash
ionable part of Paris.
Mrae. Valreaux believes that adults
need relaxation after the strain of a
busy day's work and find it in play
ing with toys. A newspaperman
who visited her school saw an elder
ly lawyer building houses out of
miniature bricks, and a bearded pro
fessor of the Paris University play
ing with a miniature railway, assist
ed by other grave business men.
"These hard-working people for
get all their worries here," Mme.
Valreux said. "It is better than a
gymnasium course. But as a matter
of fact this grown-up playroom is a
mental gymnasium."
