CHICAGO Nov. 17.-Values were a little un-
settled to day. the price OF wheat for December
delivery fuctuating 1sc The opening was un-
denlaby soft, while the markets on all sides
gave promise of seeking lower level. The gen.
eral hope was that there would be no increase in
the visible supply, though all entertained some
fear that one might be figured out, and had
their minds made up to accept about $50 900
bushels. A showing of three times this amount
was little staggering and opened wheat 20sc
lower than yesterdays close. During the morn
ing hour there was very little wheat for sale,
while the tone was one of rather
more. than usual frmness A decided
factor to this early strength, was decline
of &c in consols, though those best posted in
British securities understood that it was because
dividends were ''off" that the hunctuation ap-
peared in the price, rather than because there
was anything particularly warlike in the East
ern situation. The advance of an ipdepend-
ent character and almost wholly local. While it
went up lac here, New York only advanced &c.
From 9lc there was a reaction of 14c on local
sales to realize, but at the decline the offerings
were absorbed, and it took but a moment to
bulge the market up to 9lsc, higher point than
it had previously touched, and 1c over
yesterdays close. The close was firm at quota
tions. AS on yesterday, an oversupp!y OF live
hogs broke the provision market. Packers soon
pushed January pork up to 1921 173c over the
previous low point. but it was kept at this
figure. The close was about steady. Corn
showed rather more frmness, and had larger
list of friends than for day or two past
Year corn opened at near its low point, advanc-
ing 11c, but not sustaining it,.
