CHICAGO, December IA good dis
position to let the market drift was ap-
parent in the wheat pit today. News
favored both bulls and bears in about
equal proportions, and was not OF a char
acter to seriously worry either side. Au-
stralian offers were reported large but
the amount pressing from the Argentine

mating satisfactorily. Lack Of rain, too.
In the American southwest had as a
check. so far as trade influence was con-
cerned, the fact that the movement of
wheat from the farms there seemed on
the increase rather than otherwise.
Opening prices were unchanged to a
shade lower. May started at 9jA, the
same as last night, touched 95ssa9o7s, and
reacted to 954s.

street or an automobile with its driver.
All the little extra work adds to the
