Grain and Provisions Review Weekly Market Snapshot
In Chicago and across the U.S. wheat prices slipped as Canada’s prospect of a record crop weighs on futures. September wheat closed around $1.10 per bushel, with corn and oats firm on domestic and export demand. Domestic exportable surplus remains uncertain, with only about 25 million bushels sold, as buyers await Canada-U.S. competition. Prospects for a large new crop persist in Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota, while overall corn premiums reflect scarcity for immediate and September delivery. Provisions show cautious gains amid ample supplies and fair cash trade volumes.

Mason City, Aug 25. Hugh Shepherd, local farmer, says reports of 85 bushel oat yields have driven prices from 60 cents to under 30 cents per bushel in a month.
