CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Quotations by Miller & Co.. Members
Chicago Board of Trade,
Chicago, Ill, Nov. 6.

Chicago. H., Nov 6, 1914.
WHEAT-Local longs generally
went out of their holdings on yester-
days break, and there was a decided
disposition to get the wheat back this
morning, but az has been the case for
some time, the buying. power gave out
on the bulge. and when the local ele-
ment tried TO sell out, there was
good reaction. Kansas City reports
All offers abroad were accepted over
night, and the Liverpool spot market
continues to work higher. but with the
large domestic receipts the average
local trader can see only small adj
vances. overlooking the immense
worlds demand which Is rapidly alb
sorbing the surplus in this country.
CORN-Higher early but reacted on
scattered selling and pressure from
local professionals. Indications are
that the weather Is about to become
unsettled. which would cause a change
in the present rather heavy movement
of the new crop. although 1t Is not
exerting much pressure on the market
at the moment. owing to its high
quality, which leads buyers to take IL
freely. The export demand is again
in evidence.
OATS-Strong early on reports of 15
to 30 per cent damage from frost in
Southwestern Argentine, and on buy
ing by local bulls, but tho setback In
wheat led to profit-taking. The sit
uation is a strong one, and should the
movement assume small proportions
values are apt to work higher The
demand for our oats from abroad will
continue.
