M, OMAHA. Oct. Il. 1912.
tne temper OF the wheat trade after
tsh tne eiese Yesterday was decidedly bear
dsn on the theory that the war news had
Islleh nat Tor the present. and that there
was important selling in Chicago. The
oeaF program may receive a little check
tomorrow from the fact that the Liver
pool market had good rally from a
| .o"er opening. There is chance that all
! we other Balkan states may join with
montenegro In open declaration of war
| against Turkey today. Such a situation
VIII naturally hold short sellers In check,
| me weather, the big movement and the
slack cash wheat demand, are all fea-
| lures on the side of sellers. Cash wheat,
| unchanged to hc lower.
| bull leaders In corn are inclined to take
the buying side of the December option
on all soft spots. For two days
past past there has been a soft spot
case good determined buying brought
about half cent rally, The country
is offering new corn sparingly. The east
is fairly well supplied with old corn. The
commercial situation is a little mixed.
The fine weather is on the side of sell
ers OF the new crop months but the
cable news and the action in wheat
caused the bear forces to act cautiously.
Much will depend on the feeling of corn
ralssrS about selling at present prices.
Cash corn 1c higher to s4c lower.
II the oats trade continues dull the
market may sag lower, but any con-
siderable lower range will be very liable
to increase the cash demand as well as
the call for futures. Cash oats un-
changed.
