MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
EVENING Grain Letter.

Chicago Dec. Wheat: The mar
ket opened steady and ruled firm the
.first half hour then turned weak with
heavy general selling which carried
prices down Inc from the high point
Of the morning. The northwest con-
, tinued to send very bearish news ana
speculative longs tired of their hold
ings while short sellers continued their
aggressive methods. Southwestern
markets held firrner than Chicago. The
government report this afternoon
showed a reduction in acreage with a
crop indicated at 496,000,000 bushels.
The break in prices here did not seem
10 result in any Improvement in the
cash demand. The situation contin-
ues heavy but the market Is apt 70
become oversold on sharp breaks Ike
that OF today, hence, we would advise
caution in selling short
