much as at times the character or

conclusion that buying was of an alb
sorptive kind Today's news was
only of rohtine character although
sentiment was helped some by the
improved prospects for the currency

little consolation to the bear and even
less to the locked in short interest

Chicago, Dec. l. Deliveries OF
wheat and oats have been accepted
vigorously. Contract oats and wheat
figure 1c TO &c above the December
price. We are trading in corn re-
gardless of absence OF local supply.
These facts suggest oats are water
logged. wheat is a safe purchase and
that May corn will finally sell at the
predicted high points.
Kansas old wheat exhaustion is ex-
plotted and insect disaster to wheat
is outlined as result of mild winter.
Apart from these influences wheat is
on sound consumptive basis.
Big shipping movement of oats from
Chicago on December contract &C
ceptance is exercising a firming effect.
After these oats reach eastern and
other points the influence of their ar
rival may be felt in the oats pit.
Events of past few days indicate
that current levels in all grains and
products Will hold. The downward
swings should be very restricted and
be followed by rallies. Rest of De
cember should produce trading mar
kets.
