WHEAT AND CORN FUTURES DROP STEADILY IN PRICE.

Cash Premiums Strengthen in all Markets Except Minneapolis—Flour is Imported.

The wheat market closed lower every day except two during the week ending Monday, Oct. 3, and the net decline in the different markets was 6¢ to 101⁄2¢ for the December future and 5¢ to 81⁄2¢ for the May future. Corn was influenced by wheat and followed the fluctuations of the latter. The net loss in corn was 2¢ for the December future and 1¢ for the May future. Corn touched the lowest prices for the crop on Oct. 3. The September futures “went out” on the last day of September and except at Minneapolis, owing to local conditions in that market, at the low point for most September futures since early in July.

Closing prices of the September futures were: Chicago September wheat $1.161⁄8, September corn 47¢; Minneapolis September wheat $1.411⁄4; Kansas City September wheat $1.10. At Minneapolis, September wheat closed at 7¢ over December on the last day of September, owing to a strong milling demand for choice wheat.
