CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Heavy pressure
weakened the wheat market sharply today.
il was helped by favorable advices for the
Allies from the Balkans eas'ness at Liver
pool. where there was lack Of demand as
the result OF n strike in the flour mills OF
the United Kingdom, favorable crop news
from Canada and good weather for thresh-
ing In the Northwest.
As the session approached the close OF
liquidation became more extensive because
of the holiday here tomorrow. Primary Day.
outside support was lacking.
The bearing Of liberation OF Russian
grain was discussed. the opening OF the
Dardanelles being one OF the most impor-
tant factors at present.
There Is, however, n great deal TO be ac-
complished before navigation through the
Strait can be resumed.
Liverpool viewed with some apprehen-
sion the decrease so early in the season in
supplies in the United States and the
Dominion. At one time buying for foreign
account covering by room traders and
smaller arrivals at points in the interior
helped the tone. Demand for the cash
article was declared TO be slow.
The visible supply in the United States,
according to Bradstreets, is 66.417,000
bushels, an increase of 723000 bushels for
the week and compares with 13,S20,000
bushels last year in Canada Il is 23,043,-
600 bushels. decrease OF $4,000 bushels
for the week, and compares with 5.SG9,000
bushels a year ago; in Europe, continental
stocks omitted. it is 75,700,000 bushels, an
increase OF 100000 bushels for the week
and compares with 39,S00, 900 bushels last
year. The total American and European
supply is 165.220,O0O bushels. an increase
OF 10000 bushels for the week and con-
trasts with SO, ,4S9, 900 bushels a year ago.
