Lamson Bros. Daily Grain Letter.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-Wheat-
Porit taking brought sharp reac-
ton from an early bulge and wheat
closed unchanged to n lower. The
expectatio of larger receipts in
southwest and liberal movement in
the northwest, where Chicago inter
ests are buying freely for shipment
here, had depressing effect on the
nearby deliveries. The possibility of
unsettled weather, which was con-
strued as bullish, was welcomed by
the winter wheat farmers, who have
been complaining of dry weather.
Primary receipts for the week show
an increase over those Of year ago,
Of nearly a million bushel. The WIS.,
ible out Monday, afternoon will show
an increase hardly to be com pared
with that Of last year which was over
two million bushels. Considerable ex-
port business was worked on todAy's
break. although the figures have not
been given out. While the buying
side appears more attractive, purchas-
ers should exercise patience and
avoid buying on the bulges.
