Chicago. Nov. 13-Wheat: A repeti-
ton of peace rumors, which were not
in the slightest degree confirmed, re-
suited In a break Of about q. cents
from early high levels. Failure to con-
Arm the peace news was followed by
short covering and a rally OF 81 leav-
ing closing prices I to IL lower than
yesterday. Tho break resulted in a
good volume Of sales to exporters and
the seaboard reported fresh business.
Cash discounts. as compared with De-
cember. were the narrowest on the
crop. The movement shows a decided
decrease IN all directions.
Corn-The break In wheat was re-
Elected in the corn market which closed
about y cent lower. This IS constd-
cred a moderate break in view OF the
Act that the movement Of the new
corn Is on and that wheat was ex-
tremely weak during the greater part
of the day. The cash market continues
to hold its premium for contract
grades, as compared with the futures.
and fresh sales by the country and
new consignments notices were not
heavy. Some export business was re-
ported work and seaboard clearances
were 10000 bushels.
Oats-Oats gave better account OF
themselves than corn, the nearby de-
livery losing Il while May ls Off 4 as
compared with yesterday. Export and
domestic sales were IN excess Of the
days receipts and furthr accumula-
ton in the immediate future Is not an
ticipated.
Provisions-Provis!on were easier
on scattered selling by holders, in1u-
enced to some extent by the break in
wheat. At inside prices, buying by
packers was the feature and the close
OF the market was firm.
