CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Despite lower
prices at Liverpool the wheat market
here held firm all day. There was an
active demand and the volume of trad
ing was much heavier than for some
time past. A few leading bulls bought
heavily and there was free covering by
shorts. Arrivals at Minneapolis and
Duluth today were more than 200 cars
less than for the correspon ding day
one year ago. Another bullish factor
wheat had been damaged by wind and
rain. Late in the day prices yielded
somewhat, but the close was firm. De-
cember opened unchanged to 1sc higher

and closed at ~ Ac.
Steady cables and small local receipts
caused moderate selling in corn. There
was an active demand by pit traders
and commission houses, but offerings
were not large The recent unfavor

Lane was resumed today.
E. P. Peck, an Omaha grain dealer,
told of the methods Of arranging prices

Ia. also refused to buy his grain. he
said because he had no elevator and
was not a member OF the iowa Grain
