Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Wheat has been
heavy much of the time, although 1t
was strong a good part of forenoon.
This strength followed a lower and
heavy start and was due to afternoon
press claims. of a serious war situation
in Europe. The weak start was on
lower cables, large increase in Euro
pean visible supply and on northwest
receipts. three times as large as year
ago. Much of the heaviness that de-
veloped late in the day was due to
a material advance in British consols,
indicating a more peaceful outlook
abroad and to the fact that there was
no new investment demand to take
the place of the shorts who had adj
vanced values by their covering. No
export call today. The domestic sit
uation keeps somewhat heavy, but the
foreign situation is capable of so many
twists n turns 1t seems safest to buy
on the breaks for moderate profits.
Corn-Covered the same general
course as wheat. Country sales of corn
are light while the foreign demand for
new corn for January and February is
fairly good. Sales of 100, 900 bushels
of this new corn for export were in
cIuded in today's cash sales of 290, 600
bushels. Would continue to buy the
May on scale orders.
Oats-Have finally shown as much
weakness as any other grains. The
market followed the same general
course as wheat and corn but the
changes were within narrow limits and
the weakness was more pronounced In
December than in deferred months.
