GRAIN SENTIMENT
IS MORE H0PEF Ill
Believed That Enormous
Liquidation Has Ceased
for Present

CHICAGO. Oct. 1s.-Sentiment IN
the grain trade is decidedly better
and the speculative atmosphere
clearer than it has been for tive
weeks. More traders are disposed
to take a hopeful view, and a num-
Der of the sharpest operators. who
are generally keen judges of specu-
lative conditions, who were bearish,
express the belief that wheat and
corn have had their break for the
time being.
There has been enormous liquida-
ton in all grains here and In other
markets and late messages from the
northwest and southwest indicated
change In sentiment. Thore has
been heavy covering by shorts, es-
pecially in wheat and corn. and with
in the last few days several big short
lines OF corn have been taken In. one
of which showed = heavy loss until
recently.
The general belief in the trade IL
that the Armour Grain company has
greatly reduced its shortage in corn
and taken on some wheat. The gossip
last night favored buying on any
further decline for moderate upturn.
Bears. however, were disposed to look
upon the sharp rally yesterday as
only temporary.
