CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Wheat-Tne
action of wheat today was indicative
of the uncertainty which exists in
the minds of most of the traders, in
view of the present political situation
abroad. The market was easily
swayed by orders either way, and
heavy selling on an early show OF
strength brought sharp decline in
| values There was some buying Of
| futures by houses that usually att
| for the seaboard, some new export
1 business being under way and tina.
Of yesterday having been greater than
announced. Pending developments
abroad, it seems advisable to MINI
mize risks at the present time, await-
ing the clearing up of the present
tgreatly confused situation.
Corn-Despite the fact that The
weather was cold and conducive to
heavier freezing, corn lost its early
| bulge when wheat turned easy. An
effort was on the part of country
shippers in some sections to cancel
contracts for December delivery,
which confirms the belief that shorts
| in December may have some diff
Guilty in securing sufficient cash com
| to satisfy their contracts. Until the
outcome of the December delivery is
clearer 1t does not seem advisable to
follow the selling side of the deferred
deliveries on breaks.
| Oats-Oats were less affected by
political uncertainties than were
other grains and, by midday wero
selling at prices better than last
nights close. Southern demand is
expected to improve after the first
Of the year. At these levels it does
not seem advisable to press the sell
| ing side.
