CHICAGO. Sept. 7.-Wheat-wheat
prices were lower the first half OF the
day. largely because Of an unconnrm-
ed rumor that Greece had joined
forces with the allies. Importing coun-
tries appeared to take advantage OF
the break to buy wheat, and It Is
probable that todays export business
will exceed general expectations.
Premiums continue to advance. and
those paid today are said to be the
highest on the crop. The great hope
of the bear is in the release OF Rus
sia's supposedly large reserves. It u
lie belief, however, Of those best In
formed that these reserves are lighter
than generally assumed, and that the
difficulty OF opening an outlet Is 80
great that 1t Is . very remote posi-
bility.
Corn-Was easier with wheat and
on scattered selling by some of the
largest recent buyers. An increase IN
the movement is indicated and many
holders are afraid that the govern
ment report tomorrow will not fully
confirm the opinions Of the private ex-
perts. There will probably be no sur
plus corn on the market for at least
ninety days. On that account it seems
well to avoid the selling side. except
on sharp bulges.
Oats-The oat market reacted un-
der heavy selling by holders and
prices up to midday were lower. The
difficulty of securing cars has again
been advanced as bear argument.
Seaboard buyers seem more fortunate
in securing cars than shippers to In
terror points. There is nothing to in
dictate decline in values.

CHICAGO, Sept. Heavy selling
on weak cables and ticker reports
that Athens had Joined the allies were
responsible for over night drops OF
from ~ cents to 25s cents in the
wheat pit today. Cables failed to re-
spond to the morning strength and
this caused selling Of general char
acter. September down below open

152A and May down n at 1881.
Corn had heavy undertone at the
opening. Selling was general and
support poor. September had good
rally on buying by professionals. Sep
TENDER was up above opening u at
