CHICAGO, Oct. 19--Wheat-The
buying OF wheat by exporters contin-
ued today. and the market held firm
at good advance over last nights
close The fact that weather condi-
tons are SO unfavorable i'd Canada
and our own northwest, both for
ly been factor in the foreign demand.
Receipts are already greatly dimin-
ishei, as compared with last year. at
all northwestern markets. despite the
fact that the weather until recently
has been ideal for the movement and
prices have been attractive Another
bullish feature is the statement by the
United States government that the in
Dictated yield of spring wheat was based
on GO pounds per bushel, and that IN
the three big northwestern states the
average this year Is only 51.4 pounds.
as compared with SIS pounds as the
usual average. After the sharp al
vance some reaction should naturally
occur, and 1t would seem advisable
now to hold buying orders for moder-
ate setbacks.
Coma blizzard over northern
Iowa and South Dakota, accom- panied
by low temperatures, combined with
further liberal export demand to cause
a sharp advance In corn. Covering by
shorts was on fairly liberal scale,
the bullish position Of the market has
been weakened. The cash situation,
however. is strong and would seem to
warrant buying on setback.
Oats-An account of the compare
lively low price OF oats large vol
ume of speculative trade has been d.
verified from that commodity to wheat
and corn. This accounts for sub
stantial advance in prices today and
may bring further advance. despite
the weak statistical position.
Grain Review.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO. Oct. 19--Wheat con-
tinued to rise today after an open
ing 70 below yesterdays close. After
much confusion at the start, an ac-
tive demand began to push prices up
and continued reports of unfavorable
Argentine weather helped the ad-
vance. Low primary receipts con-
trasted with those Of year ago also
were partly responsible. December
was up 37s at 169h and May UP ~
at 1891.
Corn was firmer on good demands,
due chiefly to unsettled weather over
the corn belt and reports of snow as
far north as Kansas caused sharp
gains. December was up rs at 81N
and May up ~ to S3N.
Oats were higher on liberal buying.
December was up y at 49A and
May up / at Ssh
Provisions were higher.
