COMMISSION HOUSE SALES
LOWER PRICE OF WHEAT
Profit Taking to Close Up End-of-
Year Accounts Counts Against
Bull Traders.

CHICAGO, December IS. General
selling by commission houses today
pulled down the price of wheat. The
selling was largely of a profit-taking g
character and to close up accounts for
the end of the year. but included con-
siderable amount of stop-loss orders
Signs Of heavy increase of the worlds
available stock total counted against
the bulls. The opening, which ranged
from a shade to %a% lower, with May
at 1.26A to 1.26N and July at III to
1.17k, was followed by a substantial
further decline.
Corn Says With Wheat.
Corn sagged with wheat Forecasts
of rising temperature tended also to
favor the bear side of the market. After
opening unchanged to y lower. prices
rallied a trifie, but then suffered a
moderate general setback.
oats gave way as a result Of the
weakness Of other grain. Buying was
only of a scattered kind.
Higher prices on hogs helped to lift
provisions. The effect. however. failed
to last. as demand was very light:
Selling by packers had a depressing
influence during the later transaction.
Favorable wheat harvest conditions
in Argentina gave an advantage to the
bears and so, too, did Kansas and
Nebraska reports that the amount of
wheat in farmers hands was the
largest on record for this part of the
season. The close was unsettled, l "
to 31s net lower. with May at 1.24 Is
1.24A and July at 1.16A.
Slowness of eastern corn demand
tended later to increase the heaviness
of prices. The close was nervous at
1Ka1A to 2s net decline.

UNDER BEAR PRESSURE
United States Steel Common Leads
the Downward Trend, Selling
Off More Than a Point.
Coppers and Oils Resist Pressure fol
a Time, But Former Later
Shows Softness.

| NEW YORK, December 2S.-With the
immediate opening fractional advances
were noted throughout the list. The oil
shares displayed the strongest tone, the
undertone of the coppers was good and
with the exception of Texas Pacific
which broke on the receivership fully
6la points, and a few other stocks that
were inclined to weakness, the list
showed strength.
Almost Immediately after the opening
there was a weak spell, caused by
profit-taking and the usual Tuesday ef-
fort on the part of the shorts to force
weakness, although they were not aid
ed by any bearish news in the stories
of the morning.
With copper at 90 cents a pound all
the copper companies are burdened
with prosperity. The cost to produce
ranges from y to IL cents per pound

After the opening the pressure Of the
bears brought about reaction more OF

trials. New Haven gained ", while

Declines Are Extended. -
As the session advanced the market
became easier and the declines were ex-
tended throughout the whole list. the oils
and coppers holding better than others
but the coppers were not as strong as the
oil shares.
Pressure increased and the efforts OF
the bears were more successful, there De-
ing practically no recoveries or even par
tial rallies of importance.
