GRAIN. 
The week’s war developments upset the wheat 
market, so that for the first time in many weeks 
cash hard wheat sold under $2 at New York, a 
drop of 22 cents. Oats and corn followed to 
some extent, though the decline in corn was 
less owing to poor Argentine advices. High 
winds and lack of snow are reported in parts of 
our Winter wheat territory.
