Wagner's Summary

Chicago, Nov. 14.-There is much
belief that wheat and corn may stage
some kind of rally today. Ninety
per cen. of factors in all grains are
still bearish. Locals are guessing low
points. Popular ideas cover 45c for
May corn and zoe for May oats.
Export and domestic cash demand
is resting. Some talk of a fairly good
export corn demand if We get low
enough. In the 1895 and 1900 period
the United Sta es exported about 170,-
100000 bushels of corn annually. Out
side buying interest is very small.
Maturing of a record Argentine crop
will be most bearish on May wheat.
yChitago December and Liverpool De
cember spread is about 13c If Argen-
tine raises a record crop our May
wheat premium will be too high.
Balkan news indicates an early
peace.
Western hog runs this week Is about
10 per cent below last year
Decatur maintains it's claim that
farmers are not selling corn in CEN
tral Illinois and offerings will con
tinue light.
New York, Nov. 14.-All the markets
