GRAIN GOSSIP
chicago Herald says: A bearish feeling per-
yaded the grain trade last night. Lower prices
were said to have been made after the close
and traders seemed possessed with feeling
that break due on all grains on peace
talk.
A sharp fluctuation in wheat prices with
out good reason, other than fears Of peace, is
curtsiling new speculative business and creating
an impression among many traders that there
will be little on the bull side for time.
There is more desire i'm certain quarters to iqui-
date and discount all bcarish conditions as
rapidly possible. few big traders a
little friendly TO the bull side of wheat on
will before long cause heavy reduction in the
visible supply.
1t is said the short interest i'm December corn
has been cut down and the drop TO a discount
under May was taken as an indication that the
edge was off May oats. Specialists point to
Bradstreets stock figures OF Is, 100, 900, or more
than double last years, and say prices are too
high with such large stocks.
