CHICAGO. Nov. 24-wheat statistics re-
ceived additional influential effect one way

trembling from the heavy load and scoffed at
by trade facts and figures strained still
further and the price went TO the bottom. At
the opening December was unchanged at 6611G

business OF unloading a lot OF long December
began straightaway. May sympathetically fol-
lowing. The market sagged under puts and
buying against those privileges failed to have
much effect. December near the close was at
