CHICAGO, Oct l9-The wheat market Jagged
very heavily to-day. There was strong pres
sure to sell at the opening of Change, and this
continued, with only moderate reaction. through
out the entire session. The foreign markets
were quoted as quiet and easy, and British con-
soils were 3-16c higher, which was accepted as
peaceful ad iustment of the Balkan trouble 1t
was also predicted that the visible supply re-
port would disclose large increase and the
statement was made that some of the Mime
apolis millers contemplated shutting down and re-
ducing their bids for wheat. Larger deliveries
predicted, and under these influences the
temper was quite heavy throughout
the entire session. December wheat,
which closed on Saturday at 92c, opened at 9lac,
but buyers were SO few in the pit that the price
broke off almost instantly to 9l4c, and off again
to 90sc, before the market was given any active
support From the lowest point the price raj
lea to 9l3c several times. but shortly before the
close of the regular board, dropped off to 90ac
and closed there In the afternoon the feeling
continued weak. December declining to 90ac, and
closing for the day at 90sc or 1sc under Satur-
day. 1t was stated that there was free selling
for the short" account during the session, in
the belief in lower range of prices. but there
was good buying for the long account on all
the books. The trading in corn was on a mod
crate scale, and prices were we'll sustained a
