ALL GRAINS ARE LOWER
TRADERS WANTED TO EVEN UP
OVER SUNDAY
Decline In Values In the Northwest Causes
Low Prices In the Wheat Pit-Some of
the Big interests Support the Market,
but the Decline Proceeds.

CHICAGO, Nov. PA tendency on
the part Of local traders to even up over
Sunday caused an easier tone in grains.
lower prices in the Northwest adding to
the depression in the wheat pit. December
wheat closed 1a@5sc lower. December
corn was off u use, oats were down " %
&c, and January provisions were from
712c to 121a @15c lower.
While cables We're rather Indifferent to
the big advance here yesterday, more
potent factor in causing low prices in the
wheat pit was the decline in values in the
Northwest. The situation as a whole re-
manned about the same as for the past
few days, but local traders who bought
yesterday were inclined to secure prof
its; and although the market was sup
ported by some of the big interests, a de-
Ginning tendency was noticeable. Wealth
er was decidedly favorable, but receipts
In the Northwest continued small Trad
Ing was principally in the May delivery
and that month was a little firmer than
December, closing Sc lower at 1850. De
eember opened 1s@Ac lower to 1s9Ae
higher at S0Ac to S05sc, and after selling
down grade and closed about the bottom
79Ac
Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 462,500 bushels. Primary receipts
were 1859. 700 bushels. against 1926, 500 a
year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts of $40 cars. against
924 cars last week and 1880 cars year
ago.
Corn Is Also Easier.
Corn ruled easier along with wheat The
main feature in trading was the liquida-
ton by those who had bought yesterday.
The weather map was a favorable one
for the movement and although receipts
were small the general belief prevailed
that arrivals would soon be materially in
creased. After selling between 431sc and
43Tc, December closed A@ssc lower at
43 &c. Local receipts were 1873 cars, with
D OF contract grade.
In the absence of support from the
leading long, bullish enthusiasm disap-
peared from the oats pit, the market
sfumpine along with other grains. The
weakness was accumulated by profit taking
by local holders. Receipts were smaller
than expected and the cash situation
showed considerable Improvement but
the demand was scattered and not of suf-
hclent volume TO prevent decline. De-
cember ranged between 351s 0357sc and
closed 1a@5sc lower at 35Ac. Local re-
ceipts We're 143 cars.
Provisions were easier on selling by
packers and on lower prices for hogs at
the yards. Some buying by shorts checked
the decline. January pork closed 121a6015c
lower at $l1.45, January lard was off TIC
at So. 62h, ribs were down 71ac at Sc. 0715.
The total estimated receipts for Mon
day are: Wheat, 120 cars; corn, $50 cars;
oats, 115 cars, and Al. 900 head of hogs.

market was devoid of special feature dur

was, however, unevenly distributed. Z g
tone prevailing was for the most part
steady and the market showed healthy
tendency. Producers were in a better po
sition compared with a few weeks ago to
meet low offers.
Buyers found the market less easy to
operate. China generally is well supplied
and the prices demanded discouraged op
erations. The India inquiry was plentiful
and resulted in considerable trade. South
America took moderate parcels, varying
in character.
Yarns were steadier with fair business

NEW YORK, Nov. 21-Trading in
stocks was of very desultory character to-
day and the net results in the way.of price
changes were not important. The ruling
tone was one of depression, but the mar
ket made a considerable recovery and
closed firm. The publication of assertions
that the passing of the dividend on United
States Steel common stock and the re-
duction of that on the preferred stock
had been determined upon, induced re-
newed selling of the United States Steel
securities, forcing the preferred stock
more than a point lower and the second
bonds nearly a point. Both rallied in the
late recovery of the market.

there was a surplus of S19,529,s75, and
two years ago of S14,4S6,92O.
Here Is obscurity.
The course of the money market makes
a little obscure the recovery in foreign
exchange. 1t is now evident, however, thai
the accumulation of exchange has in view
the requirement for the payment of $40,-

canal question. 1t is to be noted also thai
the value Of imports of dry goods anC

cember. From sos MS04c. May sold to
1890 and stuck at this figure. although
there was an effort made to close il down
at 1870. The support around Is5sc was
good and considerable wheat was taken
from weak hands at that price. The bulls
were pleased over the showing of re-
sistance. and in the face of decline were
talking hopefully at the close. for Satur-
day is liquidation day anyway, and after
the recent sharp advances it was thought
enough selling might develop to bring Sc
