anything like accurate comparisons on

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO. Sept 24-Assertions that
Canada would be likely to undersell the
United States from now on in the wheat
trade with Europe had bearish effect
today on prices here. Largely in conse-
quence the market closed heavy at $50
1%c net decline. Corn finished bq1c IN
der last night oats off 9sq34c and pro-
visions irregular, varying from a setback
of 55c to an advance of 219c.
One of the leading Chicago authorities
regarding wheat was quoted as declaring
that Canadian supplies were now avail
able for export at a cheaper rate than
seemed to be possible in the United states
and that as result the Transatlantic
call for domestic hard winter grades was
virtually certain to diminish here and
elsewhere. Competition by Canada, 1t
was commended would be felt the most
between the present time and the close OF
navigation on the great lakes.
Corn fell with wheat. The fact that the
weather was extremely favorable for ma
turing the new crop tended to place the
bulls at a disadvantage. Sales OF oats
were the smallest In weeks. Export bids
were said 10 be numerous, but not on a
working basis.
Much stop-loss selling Of pork and ribs
took place during the last hour The UNI
loading was done by tired-out longs. A

this week have been heavy amounting

smaller than a year ago by 1000 or more

did not show much change.
The best feeders were steady or not
far from steady, while other grades were
slow and as much as 10c lower.

OMAHA. Sept. "a. 1914

OMAHA. Sept q. 1914
Reports reached the trade here yester-
day that Pacific coast points have been
exporting wheat on an enormous scale in
the last Few days, and this news was a
big factor in rallying the market, The
Seattle correspondent OF one of the big
local houses wired that he had il on good
authority that 100000 bu. OF wheat had
been sold for export from Portland in the
last week. and as much more from Ia
coma and Seattle This report followed
up early claims of liberal flour and wheat
loading at the Pacific coast for Great
Britain, and it Is evident that foreigners
are buying to an advantage in that terri
tory and on an unusually large scale.
Little export business in wheat was re-
ported from the Atlantic coast yester-
day, but exporters at Winnipeg were do
ing large business which gave the local
trade the impression that the foreign de-
mand will soon be diverted here. st.
Louis reported good export business in
