GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

DETROIT, Dec. 6.-Close: Wheat
failed TO go to smash during the nrst
four business days OF the week and
the result IS a feeling OF disappolnt-
ment among the bears, and that In
cludes a majority OF the talent, for the
feeling OF bearishness was quite pro-
hounced all the time.
There was a little showing OF
strength in early cables, because OF
covering, the result OF less favorable
Argentine news and stronger markets
at leading South American points. Ar
gentine cargoes and Manitoba wheatS
were in better demand and cash wheat
was higher. Some weakness later was
checked by frmness in Canadian mar
kets and a prediction OF decrease In
WORLDS exports for the week. Ant
werp was a good buyer.
Leading wheat dealers do not con-
slider the commercial position OF wheat
any stronger than IL was a few days
ago, when there was active selling and
weak market. Recent recovery has
been because OF an uneasy feeling in
the foreign political news and less IA
vorable reports from South America.
The heavy flour output in Minneapolis
recently has had strengthening >ef-
feet, as also some unfavorable news
from the growing crop OF winter wheat
Many fields In Michigan are said 10
have been badly injured by the insect
pests that thrived and multiplied be-
cause OF the recent mild weather. In
