CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Wheat-New
high levels were reached today on May
and December wheat. The market
has been sold out for several days and.
when Argentine news came more bull
ish than ever and foreigners attempt
ed to buy wheat in this country, there
was little long wheat available and
the market readily mace new high
prices Export figures had not been
published to midday. but were
thought to exceed those Of yesterday,
which totalled well over one million
bushels. Authentic cables from the
Argentine indicate total loss in some
sections and an exportable surplus
far below any previous figures pub
|lished. This will mean an unexpected
demand for our very limited surplus
and very high prices.
Corn-Export demand and the
strength In wheat helped corn. Har-
vesting returns are disappointing
some of the best sections of Illinois
reporting little better than half crop.
The new corn promises to be Of ex-
ceptional fine quality, the few scatter
ed arrivals grading high and selling
at very fancy prices. There Is prac-
tically no new features in the situa-
ton, sentiment generally being bear
ish and the leading bull interest con-
tinuing to merchandise probably
whatever supplies are On the market.
Oats-The strength in oats was Dor
rowed almost entirely from other
grains. Warehouse interests we're
the best buyers Of the spot article. al.
though few shippers were in the
market in limited way. Liberal
