Of steel that they crowded one another

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.



Chicago. Oct. 21--The buying pow
er in wheat was stronger today than
on any previous day of the week.
This was fully shown because OF the
expectations that large quantities
would be sold by English holders as
q result of the orders issued to Lon
don and Liverpool houses to refuse
buying orders for wheat at Chicago.
Instead of early liquidation by longs
continuing throughout the entire day
there was enough wheat sold early to
carry values downward Ala to 2 a.
cents. These losses were not only
fully regained later but more was add
ed to the price and resting spots were
! to ] "a cents higher Direct or
ders were received from the English
markets to buy wheat here and there
was selling orders filled also.
There was a good deal OF business
In the way of closing up British con-
tracts, and this. il Is expected. Will
continue next week In addition to
the wheat sales for export today there
were 5000 barrels of -four taken by
foreign governments
The editor of the Liverpool Corn
Trade News in special cable made
the claim that the sensational crop
damage reports were coming out of
the Argentine Republic for a purpose
liberal shipments not only of wheat.
but of corn from that country this
week.
There wss an advance OF 2 Ia cents
In December corn at Chicago today.
The May was up IA cent, but July
gained only as cent. There were
reports OF large export takinss OF
this grain. which brought out large
number OF buying orders from sh orts
~ well as investors, There was an
early break of lac. but this was
followed by sharp gains of 8 lie in
the December 20 n premium over the
May. Cash sales at Chicago on do
mestic account were small at 90, 900
bushels
Oats synpathized with the advances
in the other grains in a poor way. as
there were advances of only as to
lac for the day. Cash sales were
email at 5000 bushels
There was a large demand for hog
products and prices were strong and
higher with the buying OF December
and January lard and January ribs
heavy.
There were heavy realizing sales by
the larger longs an well as some SELL
ing which was attributed 10 packers
