shipper has his contract to fill and both

sition and attitude.

Of the grain could have been held for
speculative purposes as it would not
appeal to the Intelligence of many to
continue to hold and pay storage and
other charges when it could have been
exchanged for grain for later delivery,
at considerable profits. 1t is quite gen

Grain Review

Chicago, Nov 29.-Canadian COM
Wandering of millions Of bushels OF
wheat brought about an excited rush
of buying here today and caused de-
cided upturn in prices but the bulls
were later restrained by belief that no
increase of export demand from the
United States would follow, especially
while ocean vessels were being largely
monopolized by the British government
to carry shipments from Canada.
In late transactions the market ruled
comparatively steady, with bullish
sentiment predominant, but traders
disposed to be cautious. Fair export
sales by way of the Gulf of Mexico
counted somewhat in favor Of higher
prices. The close was firm at IN to rs
@2ac net advance with December
$1,05A and May $1.0Sa.
Opening prices ranged from 11a to
IN higher, with December at $1.O5 to
$1.O6 and May at SLOT to $1.0S1a. De-
cember soon sagged to $1.04B
Corn was bullishly affected by the
advance in wheat. The gains, however,
were only temporary. After opening a
shade off to $ a 1ac up, the market rose
to more than cent above Saturdays
finish but gradually receded.
Later the market rose higher on
fresh strength in wheat. The close was
firm at net gains of / al &c.
Oats developed firmness with corn
and wheat
Grain strength and rise in the hog
market carried provisions upgrade.
