WHEAT MARKET
 VERY UNSETTLED
Fears as to Effects of Court Action Causes Nervous
 ness From Start

Chicago, october 27.-Almost panic con- market Demoralzed stock dealings had the most to do with the scare, but there was also talk that the government would the alleged manipulation of grain. Closing prices were weak at a de- clire of 124c to 2ss021ac, compared with "A hours before. Other staples fell, too, but not nearly so much as wheat. Corn, 19@ 9sc to 5sc oats %@1kc, and hog products 5a315c to 171sc.
 Fear as to the unsettling effect of court action against the United States Steel cor poration made holders of wheat nervous from the start. Prices crumbled grad ually at first, but later in the day the price built during the advance last week came tumbling down on stop loss orders to sell It was in vain bull leaders point ed out that the government would have no case against human digestive plants and that 90OOO,000 people would continue to need just such daily bread. Attention in the pit could not be shaken away from the fact that a huge amount of local ante eastern wheat was being urgently pressed for sale and that in relative sense buy ing had practically vanished. A bear raid decidedly increased the excitement.
 On top of all the other woes for the bulls, disquieting rumors flew about that supposed manipulators of wheat as well as steel might expect soon to be sacked by the stern hand of Uncle Sam. As a direct outcome. the market closed at all most the lowest point of the season. Ex- treme limits touched by December were $1.G01a end 9S1s@9Sl4c, with last sales 9S14c, net loss of as@21ac.
 Cold weather as well as the demoral- ized security market and the wheat de- cline put weight on corn. Offers of both old and new crop supplies from the coun- try were on the increase. December varied from 6SA@63ssc to 677sc, ane closed steady, 5sc down, at 631zc. Cash grades were in slow demand. No. 2 yellow was quoted at 74A@7411c. Covering by oats shorts helped partly to overcome the influ- ence of the breaks in other commodities. Quite a number of tired longs, however, were unloading. December ranged be- tween 471ac and 47ssc, with the close 47c, fall of 1ac from last night.
 In the face of weakness in grain and Wall street provisions found little sup port. At the last gong pork was down 1Oc to 15d171sc, lard 71ac to 121s@l5c, and rits, Dc to 121ac.
