WAR TALK OFFSET BY Do
MESTIC NEWS.
Local Receipts Are Large and
Foreign Prices Are Barely
Steady.

| Grain SPECTATORS were inclined TO play
/ Il waiting game in yesterdays local mar
/ hot. Their. was just enough war talk to
| keep the active options a little better than
| steady during the greater part of the ses-
sion. but toward the close there was con-
| siderable liquidation by traders who had
| bought Saturday. The weakness came
| mainly :ro.n the domestic statistical news,
| which. while rattle. colorless. was slightly
| favorable to the selling side. Foreign
markets were barely steady, and there was
t fairly good export inquiry. Local receipts
| were large and the cash demand was
| mainly from elevator buyers.
