In the absence of outside specul- 1 itive activity, small transactions < ;overned the market’s action. | Sarly purchasing credited to mills ind based on high temperatures in )arts of the spring wheat belt lift ed prices as much as 5-8 cent. ! hedging sales and forecast of pos- ' able rains in parts of the north- ' vest accounted for most of the 1 3ressure. Pit brokers said the Roosevelt renomination had. no 1 narket effect. i Wheat closed at or near the ses ■ion’s lows, 1-4 to 5-8 lower than 1 yesterday, July 73 1-2 to 5-8, Sep- ■ ember 73 7-8 to 74. Corn was un- 1 hanged to 5-8 higher, Jul 62 1-2 ■o 3-8, September 59 to 59 1-8; ; >ats 1-8 off; rye 1 1-8 to 1 1-4 low ;r and lard unchanged to 5 lower. Temperature readings as high as .08 in the Dakotas yesterday at racted attention and crop experts 'eared wheat would suffer a fresh setback if this hot weather con inues. The forecast predicted part y cloudy weather, with widely scattered showers in North Dakota, :ooler in southwest Minnesota and ittle change in South Dakota, showers were forecast for Canada. Hedging sales were on a small scale but were sufficient to keep he market under pressure most )f the session. Receipts diminish ed the 12 principal terminals hav ng 3,833,000 bushels compared with t,691,000 a week ago. Trade ex perts said it was impossible to esti mate how much wheat now being leld off the market would eventual y be used as collateral for govern ment loans but most agreed that if prices do not improve the volume may be larger than the 160,000,000 sushels stored last season. open High Low Close WHEAT: Illly -74% 74% 73% 73% 3ept ..74% 75 73% 74 Dec -75% 76% 75% 75% CORN: Tilly -62% 62% 62 62% ?ept .58% 59% 58% 59% Dec —.53% 54% 53% 54% OATS: Tuly -31 31% 31 31 3ept .28% 28% 28% 28% Dec _29% 29% 29 29 SOY BEANS: Tuly _ 83 83% 83 83% Dct _74 _ _ 74 Dec _ _ _ 74 RYE: Tilly _ 42 42 41% 41%. !ept _ 44 44% 42% 43% Dec .-.46% 46% 45 45% LARD: 'uly _ 5.65 Sept _ 5.80 5.SO 5.77 5.77 let _ 5.87 5.92 5.87 5.87 , lee_ 6.05 6.05 6.00 6.00 an _ 6.15 6.15 6.10 6.10 BELLIES: uly .. 6.40 Sept ..- _ _ 6.87 BALTIMORE HOGS BALTIMORE, July 18.—UR— U.
