CHICAGO, Ill.,, Dec. s. Corn
Corn lost about quarter OF a
cent on an early setback. Com
mission houses were liberal buyers
The advance brought long corn and
pressure from local sellers. Reports
that country are increasing Ship
ping demands keep slow and local
handlers reported smaller shipping de-
mands than in years.
The movements keep small. Primary
receipts $4,000 bushels as compared
with 2,536,00O last year. Buying orders
should be held for good setback.
Oats-Oats sympathized with other
grains and closed at small net de-
cline. Stocks are gradually accumu-
lating and the expectation Is for a
larger run. While local receipts wers
only 115 cars, the sample values were
easy Export sales Of 10O,o 900 bushels
are reported from our seaboard.
Proytsions-Commis houses de-
mand for products gave a higher range
to prices early. Packers sold freely
on the advance. with the result that
everything on the list was lower
Pork closed at moderate decline. Al
though the hogs were higher There
is still a profit in the cuttings as pack
ers sell on advances.
Hence the volume of hedging sales.
Cash is reported dull.
Long wheat was for sale on every
bulge today and the market dropped
very rapidly with about a two cent
range. Closing rices were h@1h'
lower. December showing the great
est decline. Foreign news was bear
ish. The Australian surplus was esti-
mated at Sc million ushels, and New
York reported Australian wheat was
offered at European ports consider
able under Manitobas. Export demand
was larger at our seabcard. sales OF
about 100000 bushels being made.
Local estimates Of 1G4 cars sold fair
ly well. Local estimates Of the winter
wheat is bullish. The government
figures on this crop will be issued Fri
day, December IT. The local senti-
ment has undergone material
change and pressure from this source
is much more positive than at any
time since the advance started.
