The following cables were Te- ceived last nigh: by Messrs. American Oriental Finatice Com poration.

London Forecast, Stocks: Owing to a less pessi- mistic sentiment in London re- garding events in Europe, we ex- pect Wall Street to react in sym- pathy with firmer opening.

Wheat: The wheat market is expected to open irregular and possibly higher.

Other markets are expected to open slightly lower.

New York A.O.F.C. Cables Stocks: No fresh news or fac- tors though a moderate rally is favoured.

Cotton: Fair demand, but, ad- vanċe is „ mëeting suppiles on realizing. The tone is steady.

Corn: The Government "Report on August 10 is expected to be bullsh-but the large open interest and receipts warrant caution.
