CHICAGO. December S.-StrenGth in
wheat. due to a blIlliSh construction Of
government report, disappeared today
under lively selling. The rush to buy was
smaller than expected. and commission
houses had so many scattered orders TO
take the bear side on any advance that
there was sudden dip in prices. the mar
ket going under last nights level 1t was
apparently figured that the influence of
the big visible supply was too great to be
offset by reduced acreage OF winter
wheat. Opening prices We're 14a3s to Il
higher. May started at 97l. to 97Ss, All
advance Of Las to akal.. and then de-
seconded to 1863 a:67s.

settle down with wheat and corn. May
started a shade to Val. higher at 49af9' S
to 49lsa4914. but reacted to 4S34.
