settled finish. II to 1Aa1ss net lower,

from unchanged figures to decline Of 20.
1t was difficult to find any trader who
would talk of higher prices on wheat
Values broke at the start, and were at no
time able to recover to any material ex-
tent. Signs appeared numerous that at
least after the close of lake traffic rapid
accumulation Of stocks was likely, and the
fact that primary receipts for the day
amounted to more than one million BUSH
els excess compared with a year ago
seemed to make certain big addition to
the domestic visible aggregate for the
current week. Bears were not slow to
draw the inference that export demand
up the surplus. On the contrary, how
ever. the uncertainty regarding ocean
shipments. especially to Italy and Greece
remained a decided handicap to business.
According to some authorities, the most
liberal movement Of the wheat crop this
season might be looked for next week.
Opinions were ventured that the only
thing to prevent such movement would
be a shortage Of cars.
Corn ranged lower, mainly in sympathy
with wheat. On the breaks there was
good class Of buying, headed by houses
with country connections. Oats followed
the action of corn. Trade for the most
part was local.
Provisions averaged lower on account
of weakness in the hog market Packers
were on the selling side in moderate
way.
