There has been persistent selling of wheat by pit traders all through the greater part of the session inspired by the hedging sales of moderate amounts and in anticipation of at least .7,- 000,000 bushels increase in the visible supply. This developed a situation which resulted in a closing bulge and best prices of the day prevailed at the finish, with gains at 1 1-4 1 l-2c recorded. Most of the late buying was for short account. Corn closed l-2S-8c lower, while oats were unchanged to l-3c off. Rye deplined 2 l-4c and barley lc. Pro visions rallied with pork, 10c up, lard unchanged to 2 l-2c lower and ribs 2 l-25c lower. Local cash sales were 5,000 bushels of wheat, no corn, 42,000 bushels of oats and 7,000 bushels of barley. A shipper who sold 100,000 bushels of corn last week had 40,000 bushels of it canceled today. Seaboard reported 200,000 bushels of wheat worked for export. Trade In wheat was of moderate volume. Sentiment appears to be hellish, but buyers lack confidence so long as the producers continue to market their wheat in the large quantities .they are at present. The market was firm at the opening, northwest Interests buying, while a dearth of offers was noted. On the bulge locals took the selling side, which could be credited to hedgers. At the end of the first hour the market rallied when the locals attempted to cover. Slump In Late Selling. Later aelllng credited to a leading eleva tor concern caused a slump. Northwest advices were to the effect that the crop Is still going back. However, of more importance Is the condition of Russia as headlined In the press. This would indi cate that the once biggest wheat produc ing country of the world is now dependent on the United States and other surplus producing countries for foodstuffs to feed her starving peoples. This will make a big difference In the reckoning of values. Kansas City advised that consignment notices on wheat were 60 per cent less than a week ago. Local receipts were estimated at 1,076 cars. Corn was weak in tone. The cooler weather, accompanied by rains In many portions of the -west and southwest, seemed to overshadow all other news. However, there Is little doubt that the crop In parts has been Irreparably Injured by the dry weather, Another factor which muet not be overlooked Is the fact that much feeding Is being d.me on farms be cause of the burned pastures, and this will cut down figures on Velds later in the season. Seaboard advised that there was a big export demand for corn. Oats worked sharply lower uun..g early trade. Hedging pressure against purchases of cash oats In. the country proved a burden on the market and prices drifted gradually lower. Buying power was smaller and confined to the weak spots. Cash oats started V, cent lower. Old heavy No. 3 whtta oats sold at 39c, or Vc over September. Lightweight sold at 85c. or 3c under. Reports from Canada .ay that oats In the rorthern PrMf Saskatchewan are above the .Vff8.9; Cromwell estimates the crop In Alberta at 75.000,000 bushels. Rye, No. 2, sold at $1.10V4. Pit Notes. The local elevators will be run on an open shop principle hereafter and the unions will have no voice "." question of wages or working conditions. The men will be hired as Individuals and, according to elevator men, a large per centage of the recent employes have made jt i ha retained. Most of tne men who went out have applied for their old positions. Feeding of new crop grain and frag will begin mucn earner man ui " year as pastures are in bad shape through out the greater part of the west. In many sections feeding has already begun and It is believed there will be free buying of corn and oats to make up deficiencies in feeding supplies. Indiana crop reporting bureaus atate that the pastures are prac tically gone In all parts of that state. Corn haa fired badly on light and saidy soils, according to the weekly re port, and to a lesser degree on other soils. Wheal Newa Bad. According to some receivers, receipts of wheat are likely to continue neavy iur the remainder of this week, while some believe the arrivals today will not be equalled again on the crop. In some sec tions farmers have practically stopped de livering and in the southwest a more conservative selling attitude la noted In many sections. News on wheat Is coming extremely bad, according to a Minneapolis message to Thomson-McKinnon. Territory that looked promising 10 days ago la said to be falling down terribly on the final returns aa shown by the thrshers. A Kansas City message said that con signment notices of wheat were about SO per cent less than a week ago. In spite of the low prices prevailing for cata the country appears to be selling and delivering freely, receipts at all points being heavy, Chicago alone having about 50 per cent more than the total primary receipts a year ago.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wire, New York, Aug. 1. Today's mar kets indicated a pause in the lately active loreign exchange market, con tinuance of the tendency towards easier money, and what appeared to be a distinctly favorable turn of sen timent on the stock exchange, ihe important news of the day, with a significance extending beyond the in dustry immediately involved, was the government's highly - unfavorable forecast of the growing cotton crop. The bond market continued active, with further advance in price of sev eral investment securities. The day's stock market was not unus ually active but the buying orders were continuous, apparently reflecting both new purchases and the retreat of the specu lators for the decline, whose attack through the Industrial shares last week seems to have been entirely abortive. Today a bus ness was weil distributed and advances of 1 to 2 points were made In a very con siderable number of stocks. Even the steel shares participated In the day's re covery. Advance In Sterling. Sterling exchange advanced at one time today to $3.57 as against last week's closing of $3.66 and a low price of $3.55 on Friday, but the rate fell off again In the later trading. The government's very unfavorable estl mate on the cotton crop is a matter of considerable Importance. In the present case the position of the cotton trade and the southern producers Is Illustrated by secretary Hesters estimate today, that 8,871.000 bales were carried over uncon- sumed from last year's crop, as againat 6,216,000 bales a year ago and less than half as much In a normal year. The crucial question had been whether this unsold surplus, if supplemented by even a new crop of moderate else In 1921. might not again force cotton prices below cost of production and tie up tighter still the south s congested mass ot indebt edness. Worse Than Expected. Today's estimate was worse than even the cotton market had expected. Last year the low "condition estimate" of July was marked up more than 1 per cent in August, but today's condition percentage was 4 per cent below that of a month ago, and the forecast of probable yield, which, In July, had been nearly 5,000,000 bales below last year's actual harvest and the smallest since 1895 was reduced 230,000 bales. Furthermore, the depart, ment'a bulletin rtports that, following the 30 per cent estimated reduction In planted acreage from 1920 damage from Insect pests has been exceptionally serious, with "continued and increased damage threat ened." The cotton market's view of the report was expressed in a rise of nearly $6 per bale. Omaha Bay Market, Upland Prairie Hay No. 1, $10,600 11.60. No. 2. $8.5009.60; No. S. $7,000 8.00.
