CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Wheat-While
foreign news was not bearish there
was pressure On our market through
out today's short session from holds
ers and from local bears. Prices aver
aged lower showing sharp decline for
the week in December and only mod
crate recession in the months. A
news item from abroad indicating
that foreigners contemplated mixing
corn with wheat flour was regarded
as bearish. The general feeling is
that the market has not had q nor
NAL setback after the sharp, quick
advance Of the two weeks previous to
this and because the worlds short
age Of wheat is not being generally
felt as yet or account Of liberal
American reserves. There is little
investment buying, except that which
Is credited to foreigners. The situa-
ton is gradually strengthening, and
it would not be surprising to see a
sharp upturn in the near future.
Corn-The adjustment Of cash
values to the price Of futures, is, hay
ing bearish effect on the latter, and
bears are taking advantage of this
condition to press the selling side
vigorously. Cash corn values have
undoubtedly been inflated by short
age of stocks during the period be-
tween final movement OF the old crop
and the beginning Of the marketing
of the new. There is, however, a
good demand for corn, because sup
plies are light in all positions, and
foreigners show disposition to buy
on breaks. Eedgers appear to be
avoiding the December delivery, pre-
ferring the May at prevailing pre-
miums. Except on good breaks seems
advisable to avoid the buying side.
Oats-During this week with wheat
tending lower, cats have shown little
Independent strength Commission
houses have been free sellers on all
bulges, but have also bought freely on
moderate breaks, so that the heavy
long interests have not been mater
tally reduced. The car situation and
heavy terminals stocks are against
sustained bull movements.
