U. S. REPORT BEARISH ON
GRAIN, SAYS INTER-OCEAN
CHICAGO, Sept. 10 -The Inter-Ocean*'
says:
"Contrary to expectation, the govern
ment report showed 10.000.000 bushels less
wheat than generally figured on, although
the estimate of 300,000,000 bushels of
spring wheat was confirmed. The trade,
however, considered the report bearish.
The report on other grains was also con
sidered bearish, especially on corn and
oats, as new records were set, and even
with bad weather ther ecan not be enough
loss to bring the crop under the previous
high marks. In the seven corn states
there is an increase of 240,000,000 bushels
over last year, which Is regarded as bear
ish by most traders, but technically the
situation in regard to eash corn makes
bears slow about selling the near futures.
Oats specialists regarded th-, strength
yesterday as only technical and due to an
oversold condition of the cash market for
September shipment ami to the taking us
hedges.”
