CORN FUTURES FIRM ON LACK OF RAIN NEWS Wheat Little Changed in Narrow Range; Oats Down 1-4 Cent. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—Wheat prices were little changed as the Board of Trade opened in a light trade today. With foreign markets closed and scattered rains in the northwest, traders apparently preferred to wait for something definite to give the market a stimulus. Most operators were content to wait for the releasing of the private estimates. The scantiness of rains in some of the major producing sections gave corn firmness in the nearby deliveries and again September led a good fractional advance although the distant futures were steady. Cats were weak. At the opening wheat was U cent lower to *4 cent higher, corn was unchanged to % cent up, and oats were cent lower. Provisions were slow and about steady. Liverpool and Winnipeg are closed today for a holiday. Traders are disposed to look for a better wheat market unless the rains over the week-end were more general and heavier over the spring wheat belt than appears to be the case. The private returns due today are expected to show a crop of 125,000,000 bushels, as compared with the spring wheat harvest last year and a Canadian output not to exceed 200.000.000 bushels, or about one-half of last, year’s crop. Parts of the corn belt got very good rains over the week-end, especially lowa. But elsewhere the precipitation was not large. The short interest has largely been evened up and the trade is in a position to follow the news. The traders seem to be of the opinion that corn will work irregularly higher. Private reports due today are expected to show fully 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 bushels under last year, or about 2,800,000 bushels. The acreage of corn has been increased, owing to the cheapness of wheat. Oats follow the corn trend for the most part recently. Cash interests continue buyers as they have for some time. The private reports are expected to show a material reduction from the previous estimates on the crop.
