CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Oct 23.--With the exception OF a
brief period early in the day the wheat mar
ket was inclined to be weak and at the close
prices were almost at the bottom. Influenced
by declines at European grain centers, the
market opened easy with prices 1sQh to 7sQihc
below yesterdays close. Within the nrst ten
minutes, however,. prices had been run up
about nc on active buying by commission
houses and pit traders, which was based on
portion of dispatch from Argentina regarding
the amount of damage TO the growing wheat
crop by the recent frosts. According TO nrst
versions of this dispatch the damage was esti-
mated at about 20 per cent OF The total crop
Later when It became known the 40 per cent
referred only to one district ana that the
damage to the entire crop was no more tnan
had been previously established, great many
buyers turned sellers, which caused decline.
During the remainderaof the day the market
continued weak and before the decline was
checked prices had dropped approximately lc
from the high point of the day. Wet weather
from the southwest inspired some selling
throughout the entire session. Rains were
again in the winter wheat belt west or the
Mississippi river, and snow was reported In
Nebraska and western Iowa, but the precipi-
tation east of the Mississippi river was still
a negative quantity. Receipts OF wheat In
the southwest showed some falling on, but the
movement In the northwest was still liberal
Exporters claimed an absence of export busi-
ness here or at the seaboard, but the actual
clearances of former sales were liberal, being
Sg2 900 bushels. Total exports for the week
as reported by Bradstreet's were equal to
G, 600 bushels.

LIBERAL Corn was firm all day despite the
slump in wheat. The close was firm with
prices a shade to Mc higher. December closed

Oats were easy early in the day, but rallied
in sympathy with the frmness of corn. Cash

ment of wheat to market is responsible Tor
the optimistic tenor OF reports from distripu-
tive centers in the northwest. Effects OF
the drought are shown in almost suspension
of steamboat traffic on the Ohio river ana
it's tributaries, the holding UP of large
quantities of coal along that stream, the
prevalence of destructive forest fires and
the low stage of water supplies. Reports as
to collections vary, being best In the north
