Chicago, Sept. 12.-Whea1-Tthe ac-
ton of the grain and provision markets
today indicated concerted effort on
the part of the general trade or of those
short or bearish TO take advantage of
the light week end trade and depressed
values. This effort was more successful
IN wheat than in other grains. Closing
prices are at inside figures , TO 81.
cents lower for the day and about 10
cents for the week. On the decline
there was rumors of fresh export bust
ness in considerable volume aitho only
100, 600 bushels were confirmed. There
is complaint of the quality of the north
western crop.
Corn-Receipts of corn were decided
~ smaller and advices of country ship
fnents decreased materially. There vas
better shipping inquiry and cash values
on the tables We're i: to ! cent higher.
This resulted in enough covering by
shorts in the current delivery TO ad-
vance the price cents and to hold de-
ferred futures slightly above yester-
days final figures.
Oats-Trade in oats was of good
volume, buying by commission men and
brokers thought to be representing eX-
porters being the feature. Prices ad-
vanced I. to Is cents. a report of ex-
port sales possibly larger than those of
yesterday and the fact that New
Orleans was outbidding Chicago in
nearby territory for oats for export
were the strengthening factors.
MISUNDERSTANDING in provisions
resulted in furt her decline with little
support except from shorts
