(By Thomson & McKinnon.) —July 11— In today's market we had some further liquidation in a few stocks, short covering In a few, while most issues were neglected with a general tendency toward dullness. Harvester, Famous Players, SearsRoebuck and Ajax Rubber were leading sufferers from renewed selling. American Sugar. Mexican Petroleum and Atlantic Gulf benefited from a strong technical situation that was created Dy overselling. It is quite evident that there are still a 'tv weak spots In the market, but" prices have already declined to such an extent that there is no longer the menace that confronted us in the past, and it Is time that we began to look forward for some increased demand. At present, however, we are limited entirely to prospective good to come from the efforts of the administration at Washington and until there is an actual change in business condition, recoveries will naturally be limited and the result of technical conditions.

GRAIN FUTURES SUSTAIN GAINS Pessimistic Crop Reports Chief Market Influence. CHICAGO, July 1. —Continued pessimistic crop reports ennsed grain and provision quotations on the board of trade here to show some strength today. The advances were only slight and a few of the quotations showed fractional losses. Temperatures over the week-end were more moderate, but there was little rain lr. the wheal belt of the Northwest or in the corn growing region of the Southwest. Export demand was fairly heavy. The volume of trade was light. Provisions werp irregular. July wheat opened unchanged at sl.lß and closed off %e. September wheat opened off le and closed off %c. July corn opened off %c at 60c and dosed up %c. Septeinb-T corn opened up %c at 59%c and closed up %c. July oats opened up %c at 35%c and closed off %e. September oats opened up %c at 38 %c and closed off %e. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —July 11Wheat—Record temperatures in the crop in the southwest and* a lowering early market for wheat, but In the absence of broad buying power, values were influenced bv liberal receipts of the new hold. Reports from the Southwest are of premiums in Chicago market. There seems to be a better inquiry for flour In the spring wheat markets, resulting in a further advance in premiums. In this market buyers were slow to take I hold. Reports from the southwest are conflicting, but It seems to be the case that offerings are not burdensome. Judging from the character of the trade, there is a steady though not large export business, vcbfrh Is offset by small hedging sales, from the Southwest. There Is no gainsaying the fact that there is Insufficient new Interest In the market to keep prices but the disappointing thrashing returns In winter wheat ami the unfavorable outlook In spring wheat are reasons for not being overconfident In anticipating lower prices Corn and Oats—There is a little export business doing in corn ami a rather free movement from this market to Eastern distributing cenfrs. In addition the crop needs rain and lowr temperatures, a few complaints of firing beginning to be received. We view this market the same wav thrt we see wheat Excellent crop outlook has been sufficiently exploited, and the Immediate conditions do not suggest lower prices As to oats we direct attention to the vcomparative smallness of the hay crop and to the fact that wheat is being exported, which means smaller amount of ground foods We consider this market as having merit, hut admit the general de nand is still slow. Provisions - Interest is broadening in the provision mark<t, bogs are strong and movement Is expected to be lessened Good cash business is doing and better export outlet is expected.
