prices reaching a new high record, or
SI.96 for December in Chicago. This
was lie higher than the high record
made during the Letter deal. Early IN
the session a rise of CSC at Minneap-
oils was largely attributed TO the great
difficulty experienced in obtaining
prime spring wheat in regular territory.
Demand was stimulated partly by
encouraging cables, European markets
being influenced by further complaints
of drouth from the northern part OF
Argentina.
Receipts at primary points continued
light, especially in spring wheat sec
tions, there being only 1,2l2 cars in the
three big centres, against 3,249 year
ago.
weak, prices falling with bewildering
rapidly, when offerings suddenly
poured out in enormous volume. 1t
was clear that many big longs were
taking in their profits. This was nat
ural after the remarkable advance.
Selling was stimulated by receipt OF
lower cables from Argentina. Accord
ing TO private cables there had been
showers in that country, but whether
the rain came in time to benefit the
crop these advices did not state.
Numerous conservative merchants re-
garded the break as entirely natural
and warranted, as the rise had been too
rapid and the market was in an over
bought condition.
Some of the selling was partly based
on the fact that nearly all exporters
were showing much less interest, many
complaining that orders had been prac--
tically withdrawn, partly because OF
the extraordinary advance. On the
break it was claimed that a few orders
were filled, probably not to exceed 3OO,-
coo bushels, chiefly hard winter. Dur
ing the later trading virtually all OF the
early advance was wiped out, Decem-
Der falling to s1.79A, with subsequent
rally to $1.S0&.
