With wheat kept moving out aa fast as It comes up te the last day of May, and with practically no local supply here on June 1st, the July operator will have reason before long to about th wheat supply ta fill my contracts?" A July drought might make a good deal of new wheat available tor delivery la that month at Chicago. Ordinarily, ther are a tew hundred thousand bushels of contract new winter wheat received at Chicago prior to August With a rainy harvest ther would be practically no new wheat of any grade received before that time.
