Prices fell to new lows as wheat traded around 72 1/2 cents for September amid supply concerns and talk of Soviet exports.

Wheat dips to new low in 1907 market
Wheat prices fell to a new low since 1907 as December wheat dropped three quarters of a cent. The Great West Mill offered 60 cents to farmers, the lowest price of the season, while many farmers prefer feeding wheat to hogs and cattle for higher returns. Grain dealer mentions shipping in wheat to feedlots as maize must align in price. Federal inspectors tested 10 cars of wheat at mixed grades, with receipts of 15 cars the following day showing broader grade spread.
