WHEAT AVERAGES
LOWER IN SPITE
OF “RUST” RALLY
CHICAGO. July 23 — Despite a rally
due for the most part' to reports
of damage by rust In the northwest
wheat averaged lower In price today
owing chiefly to persistent hedging
sales and slowness of export demand.
The close was unsettled at %®%c to
net decline, with Ssptemfoer
and December $1.01 TV
Corn finished at a range varying
from %c decline to 1%®1%c ad
vance, oats unchanged to ty®%c
lower. And provisions unchanged to
lOc off.
Estimates that more than l,06o car
loads of whe;*t had arrived here to
day, gave the market a downward
tendency at the outset but the actual
total was much leas, 664 cars, And
this fact together with Important
damake in sections of the northwest
and unfavorable wreather both Sides
of the Canadian line, soon gave bulls
a temporary advantage. Besides,
country offerings were only of fair
amount In the central west, and were
small in the southwest. Sustained
buying, power was lacking and price
gains gradually were more than
wiped out under pressure of con
tinued hedging sales and In the ab
sence of any indication of enlarged
business wit* Europe..
Coslderable attention in the last
part of th£ day was given to fig
ures purporting to shaw that for
world supply purposes the lncreave
of Canadian wheat acreage since 1928
would alone more than make up for
stoppage of exports from Russia.
Notice also was taken of reports of
good crops In foreign countries, and
of assertions that the surplus in
exporting nations would exceel by 10
per cent what importers will require.
