AFTERNOON GRAIN LETTER.

AFTERNOON GRAIN LETTER.
Chicago, Nov. 1O.-Despite large
export takings the wheat market has
made no price progress since october
23rd. The world is bullish but the
trade continues to demand reactions.
We have received several reports
from Northwest houses of the larg-
est size. They are mixed as to their
estimates of northwest receipts dur
ing the next four weeks. A fairly
good run is probable. Our new corn
may undersell Argentine corn to
10c per bushel at New York for a
few weeks. otherwise demand for
corn and oats today was small. If
export demand tomorrow fails to
improve. the grains will continue a
bulge sale.
