MARKET

GRAIN QUOTATIONS WAGNER'S GRAIN LETTER CHICAGO, Sept. 15. Markets continue under the influence of poor cash evport demand. Seaboard says there will be little sold for export until foreign owned grain is moved out. Some locals think corn will sell at 1.00 on economic conditions. Looks like ample receipts for next few days at least. Cash men think receipts will keep up another week until cash torn is thoroughly liquidated. Only fair corn and oats bulges can be expected.
