Chicago, October 18.-Reports of
| serious damage to the wheat crop in
Argentina put the bears in full retreat
to-day and induced such general COW
ering of the short sales previously
made that prices were advanced sharp
| ly. December closed 1ac higher Corn
gained A@ssc. Oats are UP Nc. Pork
left off 21sc higher; lard and ribs SC
| each.
An advance of 1@13sc in wheat at
Liverpool over night, the reported
concentration of large body of Rus
sian troops accessible to Picking in adj
ditiOn to reports from New York that
there were AZ boat loads of wheat en-
gagged for export, stirred up the open
| ing market for wheat and made a
strong and lively affair of it. The
stormy weather in the Northwest,
though it had not apparently cut down
the wheat movement as yet, was an
additional influence. 1t soon developed
however, that in face of this inf1uen-
tial people here were selling through
brokers and commission firms. Then
came a denial of the export business
at the seaboard and there were re-
ports also that the exporting firms
were undeniably taking profits on long
wheat. The actual export clearings
| were not up to the usual high total
Nand the primary market receipts lndi-
Gated that big export business could
be supplied and leave a surplus here
besides. Though the bulls, reinforced
their early batteries by reports OF large
flour sales in the northwest and told
of the snow storm in North Dakota,
the trade was inclined to wait until
noon to see what the increase in the
visible would be. Meanwhile the ear
ly sales caused a drifting down of the
price and December which opened rs q
1hc hiSler at 65h@65%c declined to
Csc. Bradstreets report indicated an
increase since two weeks ago Of 4,373,-
600 bushels in the worlds visible sup
ply which was about 40 per cent. OF
the amount expected and caused re-
covery to 653sc.
Chicago received SAT cars against
203 last year and Minneapolis and Du-
luth receipts were LAT cars compared
| with 1,7SS for the corresponding day
last week and 1,130 a year ago. The
total primary receipts at the principal
western markets amounted to l,649,OJo
bushels Reports of serious frost dam
age to wheat in Argentina gave the
| market near the close quite little
strength. There was a considerable
short interest and the shorts were
rather uneasy about standing out over
the jubilee holiday tomorrow. Trad
ers generally in the last few minutes
bought wheat with such freedom that
December advanced to 65Ac and closed
at 659s @65Ac buyers.
The strength developed by corn at
the start was due largely to sharp
advance at Liverpool. The storms
also promised to check the arrivels
and gave the bulls chance to operate
with courage. There was considerable
professional buying at the outset but
| it was met with offerings by scattered
| holders and by brokers and commits
| ion firms who presumably represented
| elevator interests. That, together
with the decline in wheat caused re-
| action and the early high points were
not fully maintained. The estimate
of receipts of only 450 cars tomorrow,
| however, acted as an offsetting influ-
| ence Receipts were 935 cars. Decem-
| Der began unchanged at 3l12@5l2sc,
advanced to 31% @317sc and closed at
| 315s @31%c.
There was quite a large trade in
oats at highere prices. The demand
| was urgent at the beginning but later
| in the day quite few of the early
| buyers turned sellers and caused the
| market to lose nearly all of the ad-
vance. There was an excellent cash
| demand, however at increased values,
and prices were near the top at the
| close. Receipts were 1856 cars. May
started 1sc up at 1884 @237sc, rose to
| 24c and reacted to 237sc and closed at
237s @24c
Provisions opened firm in sympathy
with grains despite an easier hog mar
ket at the yards and large receipts
| here and elsewhere. When grain
values reacted these influences mad
some weight. Later in the session
| when grains began to rally and when
| it became known that there was large
| demand for cash ribs there was a re-
| covery in the whole list. January
pork opened unchanged at 50 171a;
rose to 50 20, sold of to 1919; then
| recovered to SO 20, the closing figure.
| The range in lard and ribs was in
consequential.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, 10 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats
25O cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
