REARfSH REPORTS COME ALSO
FROM ARGENTINA WHERE
WEATHER TURNS WARM.

considerable heaviness today, influenc-
ed by an official report that the Kan
sas crop was the largest on record.

from Argentina, the weather there hay
ing turned fine and warm, exactly as
desired for the harvest. In addition,
peace talk from various quarters seem
ed to handicap the bulls. After open
ing u to &c lower, the market suf-
fered slight further decline.
The close was strong " q 1Ac to sc
net higher.
Hedging sales weakened corn. and
predictions that nusking in Illinois
would be finished before Thanksgiving
counted against any rally. The open
ing, which ranged from " to k@%c
lower, was followed by continued
sag.

loss of n to sc.
Seaboard demand helped to steady
oats but the market displayed sym
pathy with the downward course Of
