Chicago, Dec. S.-Strength in wheat
due to bullish construction Of the gov
eminent report disappeared today un-
der lively selling. The rush to buy was
smaller than expected and commission
houses had so many. scattered orders
to take the bear side on an advance
that there was a sudden dip IN prices,
the market going under last nights
level. It was apparently figured that
was too great to be Offset by reduced
acreage Of winter wheat. Opening
prices were A@A to he higher. May
started at SIN to ,97ts, an ADVANCE ct
A@h to as@1sc and then descended
to Ys6A @s6Mc.
Shutting down of mills at, Minneap-
oils owing to slow demand for flour
weakened the market still further. A
rally ensued owing to the heavy rains
damaging crops in the Argentine. The
close was firm with May h@A net
higher at 97hc.
The. setback in wheat affected corn.
AT first the market had been firmer
owing to the damp weather. May open
ed Is to Nc up at 63h to 63A and sag
ged to s2Ae.
Reports OF large stocks in country
elevators eased the market net more.
The close was steady with May at
SIN, a loss Of Nc net.
Lightness of demand allowed oats to
settle down with wheat and corn. May
started a shade to lh@Ac higher at
49@48h to 4sh@ 49A but reacted to
