MARKET WATTS FOR
WEATHER CHANGE
BEARS SEEM TO HAVE ADVAN-
TAGE IN CONFLICTING RE-
PORTS RECEIVED.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Unsettled weather
conditions over much of the country
made wheat traders today incline to
the bear side. 1t was essentially a
waiting market however, with moder-
ate fluctuations and light trading in
the early hours. From Argentina there
were also reports Of disturbed weather.
but these Were over balanced by a
slight decline from Wednesdays figures
i'll Liverpool cables. Opening prices
v ere a shade to half cent lower and
through the early trading kept within
the opening limits. Light offerings Of
corn and some activity in buying lifted
the market at the outset. First sales
varied from unchanged to &c higher
and the prices made fractional gains
thereafter.
Detailed reports from winter wheat
districts showed conditions favorable
to the growing plants and prices drag
ged later in the day. The close was
steady at u to Is lower.
Trade in oats was light and feature
less. The market showed a tendency to
sag with wheat.
The market remained firm for a time
but later eased off with impressive
sales Of the May product. The close
was steady at " lower to Nc advance.
Provisions, influenced by some activ-
1ty in ribs, advanced at the outset,
though the trading was not large.
Opening figures were unchanged to
INC higher.
