Chicago, Nov. 20.-Wheat developed
strength today after hesltating start.
Word from Liverpool that supplies do
not meet requirements had bullish eff
feet. The uncertainty at the very out
set was largely due to conflicting re-
ports as 10 weather conditions in Ar
gentina and as TO the likelihood OF an
Argentina embargo. Opening prices,
which varied from l1a cents decline TO
5s advance, with December at 1.I172
TO 1.774., and May at l.S31a to l.s4 g,
were followed by moderate losses al!
around, and then by a decided general
upturn.
Purchases credited to export inter-
ests helped later to lift the market
much higher Messages from Winnipeg
aid the government was buying under
cover and that the winter wheat acre
age in Canada had decreased IL per
cent compared with year ago. An
increase in the United States visible
supply, however, checked the upturn.
Prices closed strong, SA TO 4a cents
net higher with December at S1.S2 TO
y &, anu May dl Sl-cS14 ~ Si'oS
Corn.
Corn swayed with wheat. Prospects
of enlarged domestic receipts were off,
set by assertions that rains in Ar
gentine had been insufficient. After
opening unchanged TO S cent lower
the market rallied TO well above Sat
urday's finish.
eabord demand tended later 10
bring about additional gains. The
close was firm, at q 10 rs cents net
advance.
Oats.
Oats were governed chiefly by the
action OF other cereals. The upturn
was accompanied by heavy purchas-
ing on the part Of a leading firm
provisions.
In provisions, as in grain, rallies sue
ceeded early declines. Exports, larger
than last year, seemed to counter bal
ance lower quotations on hogs.
