Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 20.-As was the case
yesterday there was some sympathy in
the wheat market today but little news.
Dizziness combined with an undesirable
degree of unasiness was ma infested. Ilv-
erpool and Paris cables were practically
unchanged although later English adj
vices indicated strength in that market
through an advance of 4. The corn
trade news reported to have materially
reduced its estima te of British wheat re-
quirements by 50,000000 bushels North
west receipts were smaller. December
wheat opened at 90B@91c. The market
held steady at about 90sc for a time
and then a gradual decline ensued, car
rying the price down to 901sc The weak
mess became quite pronounced on the
PRONUNCIATION of reports relative to heavy
rains in Argentine and a sale of $780, COO
bushels of Duluth wheat for shipment to
Chicago. There was little selling dur
ing the decline and there was more of "a
lack of demand than desire to liqui-
date. Kansas City reported light ne
ceipts and prospects of continuance;
this, combined with stronger cables,
strengthened ST. Louis and several car
goes were sold for export This soon
after affected the market and an advance
was started which continued to the close
when 911k@915sc was reached The puts
on December wheat were 90A, and calls
921Ac.
